First and foremost,you need to have the basic machines I.e a good desktop Computer,a Photocopier/Printer,a Laminator nd a Binder. Given the prices of Photocopiers,I'd recommend that he start with a small printer (id recommend Epson model,they're reliable) and are less expensive (about 20-25K). They can also begin with a small desktop pc,(as from Core i3 nd above with a 4GB working RAM nd HDD of about 250-500GB) which will cost em about 10-18K. Laminator will cost about 4k. Next and very important is Internet connection which varies in price depending the Internet Service Provider he chooses nd the Internet speed he wants. First installation will cost him around 5000 max which caters for Router,Installation fee nd first month connectivity. From there he'll decide on the speed he wants but mostly,they charge from 1000-1500 for 7mbps-10mbps per month. Last bit is location. Cyber cafés do well in urban places or places with high traffic of people or near government offices like courts etc,or institutions of learning such as schools,universities,tvets etc or financials institutions such as Banks,saccos etc. Finally,Elvis doesn't have to start with many computers or a fully fledged cyber. He can just start with a cyber shop that only offers the cyber/online services whereby he is the one in control assisting clients with online procedures. Later on,he can add on the computers and even buy a bigger and faster photocopier machine as he expands. He can call for more specifics guidance
