EGGS, SAUSAGE AND SMOKIES BUSINESS

START UP CAPITAL

Any business requires capital to start running. The following are the requirements and costs of starting eggs, sausages and smokies vending business. You need smokies grilling equipment that costs around Ksh 7,000 and a supply of smokies from Farmer's Choice shop or supermarket. A packet of smokie containing 22 pieces goes for Ksh 330.

You will also need eggs, and you can get supplies from any shop or directly from poultry farmers for Ksh 300 or Ksh 280 per tray. Instead of buying eggs, sausages and smokies from random sellers, it is best you find a reliable and convenient supplier. You will also need tomatoes, onions, dhania, chilli sauce, and tomato sauce which will all cost around Ksh 200.

Apart from the trolley/ smokie vending cart, you will need tins for preparing and storing kachumbari, tongs, spoons, a knife, etc. With a tight budget, you can pick some of the equipment from your house.

BUSINESS LOCATION

Choosing a strategic location for your business will determine your success or failure. It is best to locate your business in an accessible location. The best locations for an eggs, sausages, and smokies vending business is around learning institutions, market places, near bus stops, around bars and pubs, around places hosting social events, or in public parks

PPROFIT MARGINS

The truth is, the business has a huge profit margin. If you buy a packet of smokies at Ksh 330, with 22 pieces, and sell each piece at Ksh 25, you will have made Ksh 550. This is a profit of Ksh 220 per packet. A tray of eggs, with 30 eggs costs Ksh 300. If you sell each egg at Ksh 20, you will make Ksh 600, a profit of Ksh 300. This clearly shows that the business is quite profitable. By just selling a single tray of eggs and a packet smokies in a day, you will have made a profit of over Ksh 500. The more you sell, the higher the profits.
