Realist and practical ideas please.

I got Ksh600, 000 at my disposal. Which kinda of biz can i invest such cash into with guaranteed annual returns of not less than 10%.

Simple non controversial with less risk kinda of biz. Not strip joints or such sort of stuff

Let me get this right, you want a business that will earn you 10%?

From 600,000/- you want after 12 months to have 660,000/-?
Honestly that does not make any sense to me.

Buy Equity or Kenya Re or NIC and you'll make more than 10% in a month minus dividends.

BBI will solve it

I think he wants to knu how to invest the k600 and get atleast 10% return. Go for a plot in a prime area,say Ruiru, Juja or other prime areas at approx K540, use the bal to get the docs, and sell it after 1yr. It will fetch more than K700. One of many ideas......or still think about govt treasury bond. It has guaranteed returns ..

Don't think there is a abusiness that will give you a guaranteed return. Buy BAT. div yield is 9.60% FY 2009 earnings expected to improve. Re-invest the div. Factor in capital gains and voila 10% is child play

Buy Safcom now, sell before 2012. You will have doubled your investment or 100% return.

Now that it seems you're not looking for much, how about trying a fixed deposit account...

@ohBoy! if you're relatively young then stocks are much a better play than treasury paper... find a dividend yielding stock that is cheap.. hold it for 10 years or more and your annual returns will be way higher than 10%..

if you are on the older side then government paper or residential property is the way to go...

Cheers.

@OhBoy;

you have made a classic mistake....
of putting the cart [capital] before the horse [business idea]...
if the money is yours
put it in a savings account
or a fixed deposit
or purchase T-Bills
or a money market unit trust

If it was borrowed
return it to the lender immediately
and never borrow again
before you know what you want to do
with the money

85% of all new businesses
close down
before
their first birthday
mainly because
the founders start
with capital.
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

hehehehehe quite good idea,i would advice you to buy a plot along Thika road,may be around former castle breweries at 600k and wait for a few months for the super highway and you will reap more than your 10 per cent.

oh boy! mukiha is right.

if you are looking for others to tell you what to do with your money, you might as well go to modern green.

Find what you want to do, then come back and ask what the best way to do it is.

Buy an old Toyota pimp it then sell it factoring you expenses and profit.

If you had followed 2012's advice and bought Equity stock your capital would now stand at 1,000,000. More opportunities abound in the stock market my friend.smile
