What are some business ideas suitable for starting in a “kasi” (township) environment with minimal capital?
The “kasi” offers unique opportunities for low-cost start-ups that cater to local needs. Examples include offering daycare services for working parents, providing hair services by visiting clients or from home, establishing a delivery service for local businesses and residents (utilising existing transport), offering recycling services (potentially receiving vouchers initially), and providing basic repair and handyman services. These ventures often thrive on strong community connections and word-of-mouth marketing. Mobile lunch services catering to nearby businesses or industrial areas can also be started with minimal outlay.
