@Chaka. Well, eventually they may team up and do what I do as Kenya is a free market. One thing to note, if a pioneer does a good job,they are likely to retain the bulk of the market (I hope I don't sound deluded by making this comment).

When the deal is too good......

No one will give you a shilling to invest so enjoy your dream right now because it is not getting anywhere.

@ZZE123, It's so doable. I know of guys who ship in five "units" every single month,making 7.5mn profit. In a year, that's 90mn.
The five units cost 34mn.
The goods are legit, not contrabands.

@ZZE123: I like the common math you have done, just to confirm, I asked my 10 year old to do it for me, and guess what, she got the same answer. Well done.
Now let me ask you something..Do you know the value of the used-car market(including plant, farm and commercial vehicles)in Kenya in 2010, 2011 & 2012?

Now, get back to that internet cafe you always use, Google these figures and once you tumble upon the figures you perceive to be correct, come back and report to us.

U may just notice that the figures I have posted are realistic. One thing I will not do here, is state my competitive advantages.

why not 50m*12 = 600m then?

@obar have someone else look at the business plan .great read below why its important

at $5.2-billion Iridium was one of the largest, boldest and audacious startup bets ever made.

It All Came Crashing Down

All this, plus the corporate hubris of having raised billions of dollars, with no adult on either Iridum’s or Motorola’s board who was asking “does this still make sense?” resulted in a disaster. Instead of the 42 million customers called for in its business plan, Iridium had 30,000 subscribers at its peak.

The shouting aside, my greatest concern is an obvious extrapolation based on your not stating the idea, it evidently is something very easy to replicate. Hence what you view as a competitive advantage will only last until you start your business. As you have stated, what will the current (well heeled) businesses do in response to the threat? You mention that it is not really patentable; and although in the process of being trademarked(sic), we all know that Trademark is bull crap (as we have learned) in Kenya. So, what protection do I have for my 50M investment?

2 Cents.

P/S

If it is being done elsewhere, then most likely there already exists a patent/trademark for it…..

@ZZE123, Are you serious?

This guy is asking for 50mn to make profits of 71mn, you say it's not realistic, i give an example of 34mn giving 90mn and i see a figure of 408mn as total cost?

Are we looking at cost of goods sold or the CAPITAL invested? And @Obar is saying well done and asking his kid?

Cost of goods sold and CAPITAL invested are two distinct things. They are not the same.

@ZZE123, now do you agree that 50mn can give you 71mn in a year? An investment of 34mn gives 90mn in a year

its seems you have really done your homework on this even engaged professionals .The question now with those kind of numbers/profits why is no one willing to fund you.
