Uchumi Supermarkets to return to the Stock Exchange

As a way to unlock the suspended trading at the NSE and enable the lifting of receivership, Uchumi is offering its current shareholders an opportunity to loan the supermarket chain loan with 10% annual interest that is also guaranteed by the government. The holder has an option to convert the loan and interest earned into shares at maturity or simply get paid. The minimum investment is Kshs. 3000.
This is definitely worth checking out to see if there is renewed investor confidence to warrant public purchase once the share is allowed to trade on the NSE.

Business Woman of the MonthRedefining Marketing

This week I was very privileged to meet an inspiring woman i would like to honor as the Business Woman of the the Month. She is the owner of Upbeat Marketing an agency like no other. Nathalie Chinje is no ordinary lady she is driven,vivacious,passionate, and she knows her thing. She is driven by a passion for empowering Africa and especially women to pursue their business goals beyond borders but within Africa.

It was this passion that gave birth to the intra-africa business breakfast an event that has caught the attention of governments and businesses. This event is held in different countries and provides businesses an opportunity to gain insights on the different markets/countries. It also provides the government an opportunity to communicate directly to investors what incentives have been put in place in order to improve the businesses environment. Other than that it a wonderful networking platform for any investor. Be sure to visit the link and learn more about this amazing event.

To Nathalie; Hats off you are an African Woman in Business Icon.

Kenyan Lady enterprenuer Stand Up!

Today i spent time researching on top ways to cut down costs for your business. The sad reality dawned on me after a few reads that most companies at the end of the day will sacrifice their employees to survive the bad times. If you are a Kenyan Lady that has had to go through a pay cut or retrenchment in this recession my sentiments are with you. Rather than feel defeated and lost i think its time for you to rise up and wise up. Use this as an opportunity to start climbing the mountain towards financial freedom. If you have been through this and would like a chance to explore other opportunities to help you build multiple streams of income drop me an email and i will share with you some powerful resource material that will require a little bit of commitment. Remember in all things to give thanks and to pray.
