Alex is newly married and runs a stationery business with a family member. He also provides typing and photocopy services. He supplies stationery to the schools in the rural areas. His major challenge is transporting the stationery to these schools. He has been in this business, which has big potential for growth, for the past two years. The stationery business is a big market in Kenya and is dominated by big players who able to undercut prices and squeeze the margins for the small players.
