With 10 per cent you qualify for a 33 seater from financiers like KCB,NIC,CFC,visit GM,get a proforma invoice,then head to Riverroad and print bank statements with a good turnover and you have your bus.

Kijana, unless you will be driving the matatu / taxi yourself on a day to day basis, run away very fast from this transport biz

I guess the financier wants bank statements.Go to Keekorok road which is adjacent to Riverroad and get bank statements tailored to suit the financier but as @limanika has said,think twice especially in Nairobi.For upcountry long routes may be yes.

@mlennyma, I think only Maina Njenga's group makes money in the transport business. If you have a thick skin, try and report one year later. All the best "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least." Goethe

I think buying and renting a car may be the way to go. If you can get a Voxy or a Noah type of vehicle you may be able to get upwards of 40k per month from a car hire firm.

But consider 1. Do they pay 2. Monthly car maintenance costs. The man who marries a beautiful woman, and the farmer who grows corn by the roadside have the same problem

Even corporates do it.They even have 3 sets of audited accounts i.e for tenders,bank use and the actual ones.If you have a scanner,printer and computer you can make bank statements and then make a bank rubber stamp to legitimize them.

Nowadays any serious company asking for statements check with your bank. The embassies long discovered our innovative traits of showing up with Grogan Rd certificates and other supporting documents. These days, verification of those documents is just a phone call away!

Hiyo nina shaka. The last time I approached the lion (last one year) they informed me they only offer asset finance for corporates. AMA walibadilika? Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
