Its extremely profitable with low start up capital as long as you are in a strategic position. I used to run one in dagoretti corner but decided to sell it off since i didnt have a honest person to run it.He used to buy and sell his own stock at my expenses yet am the one who was paying rent, He could inflate the buying price or just buy bad meat. My monthly running expenses were as below 1.Rent:8K 2.Salary:15K 3.Bad stock and shortages:15K 4.Miscellaneous (water, electricity and filing)-5K 5.My fuel( to check on the bugger):5K I never had a freezer to store meat since i didn't see the need for it;I used to buy stock thrice per week. The buying price per kg ranged between 230-250 depending on the days and selling price was 360. I used to make an average sales of 30Kgs per day with monthly net profit of 50k-60K

Try it,If you can manage it yourself you can be a millionaire(asK mutua from umoja he brings in over 10cows and several mbuzi's per day). The start up capital is not intensive; You just need to find a small room near strategic place,have weighing machine,paint wors,hooks,wire mesh,medical certificate,business permit and you are ready. Cleanliness is key in this business,Fumigate your building often

Ok. Did the meat fly off the shelves or ended up in his kids stomachs?

This is what happened to my friend. His meat would go bad like daily due to power outages despite having a fridge. Then his workers workers would feed the same to estate dogs. Over time like 2 weeks most dogs in the estate knew where to gather for a meal. My friend got so incensed and closed the butchery.It was in Dohnholm.Todate if he comes across a stray dog even as far as Wangigi he is tempted to hot it with a stone thinking its heading to his butchery.
