Start Free TrialThe Kenya Business Landscape
Kenya has over 7.4 million micro, small, and medium enterprises, accounting for more than 80% of all business activity in the country. Most operate informally — market stalls, kiosks, salons, hardware shops, and food sellers — relying on M-Pesa for the majority of transactions. With over 30 million active M-Pesa users and 70%+ of retail payments flowing through mobile money, any business tool that doesn't natively understand M-Pesa is useless for most Kenyan traders. AskBiz is built phone-first: open the app, scan a product, take payment via M-Pesa or cash, and your daily report updates automatically. KRA eTIMS compliance is built in for businesses that need it.

Business Challenges in Kenya
M-Pesa Reconciliation
Most Kenyan businesses receive payments across M-Pesa till numbers, personal M-Pesa, and cash — making it hard to know the true day's revenue without manually checking multiple sources.
Informal Credit (Bado)
Credit sales to regular customers ('bado' — not yet paid) are common in Kenyan retail but are rarely tracked systematically, leading to unknown receivables and cash flow surprises.
Stock Management Without Barcode Scanners
Many informal retailers manage dozens or hundreds of products without barcodes or a formal inventory system, leading to stockouts and overbuying.
KRA eTIMS Compliance
The Kenya Revenue Authority's eTIMS system requires electronic fiscal invoicing. Many small businesses are unsure how to comply without expensive dedicated POS hardware.
