Business & Finance

Business and finance are the engines of opportunity in Kenya — from the M-Pesa transaction completed in a rural kiosk to the startup pitching investors in Nairobi’s Silicon Savannah. Whether you’re saving your first thousand shillings or scaling a company with staff on payroll, the decisions you make with money today will define the life you live tomorrow.

But navigating Kenya’s financial landscape is rarely straightforward. Interest rates shift, tax obligations catch people off guard, and too many promising businesses stall simply because the founder didn’t know where to start. This is why Jua Kenya covers business and finance the way it deserves — plainly, practically, and with the Kenyan hustler in mind. From mobile money and SACCO dividends to KRA filing and startup funding, find everything you need to earn more, spend wisely, and build something that lasts.
