Frequently Asked Questions

You'll need a Nairobi County Liquor License (Ksh 50K-250K depending on capacity), Public Health Certificate (Ksh 15K), Music Copyright License (Ksh 30K/year), and Fire Clearance Certificate (Ksh 10K). The total licensing process takes about six weeks.
Successful bars achieve payback periods of three to five years. Prime Westlands locations show the fastest returns at an average of three years, while suburban pubs may take four to five years to recoup investment through a combination of profits and property appreciation.
Always request six months of bank statements, M-Pesa records, supplier invoices and tax returns. For higher-value purchases (above Ksh50M), we recommend hiring an auditor to verify the books for at least two financial years before committing.
