How to Start a WiFi Hotspot Business in Kenya (With Less Than KES 15,000)

You don't need to be an ISP to sell internet in Kenya. If you have a reliable internet connection and a place where people gather — a shop, a salon, a matatu stage — you can earn from WiFi.

Here's how to start with less than KES 15,000.

The Basic Setup

Three things you need:

  1. Internet — any standard home fiber or 4G connection (5 Mbps+) works
  2. A router — we supply pre-configured MikroTik routers
  3. A location — where your customers already are

How Much Can You Earn?

Most of our agents average KES 500–1,500 per day on a single hotspot.

  • 15 users/day × KES 30 average = KES 450/day
  • At 75% direct-payment share = KES 338/day
  • Monthly = ~KES 10,000

That's before you count vouchers sold through the platform (60% share) or sales agent commissions (15%).

Getting Started

Reach out on WhatsApp and we'll help you choose the right box for your venue. Installation takes under an hour. You could be selling vouchers today.
