I’m a 44years old Mozambican looking for some help to start my business. Based in Maputo, I know that with a 15-seater mini-bus, I can make an average income of a million Meticais/day, which is about US$50. This is very little by european standards, but not by african ones.A second-hand mini-bus able to run for plus minus 6 months can cost me 75million Meticais, approximatelly US$3.500. If I can manage to bring home US$50/day, I would need 70 working days to pay back US$3.500. Seventy working days is about 3 months. Bearing in mind that the vehicle would last 6 months, the other 3 months would be used to buy another mini-bus, and I would be on my own. I would have become a businessman in the transport field. A golden mine for Africa, because most people in Africa don’t own personal vehicle.
Mr Carlson, How do you think about this “poor” idea of mine? Do you think you could sell it to some interested party(ies)?
The CIA World Factbook reports that the climate in Mozambique is improving and that “olitical stability and sound economic policies have encouraged recent foreign investment.”

So many people in Mozambique want to start their own business. Not out of want but out of necessity. The current problem is that any type of successful market is saturated quickly. What Antonio is describing here is running a “chappa” and there are defintely no shortage of those in Mozambique!

I am moving to Inhambane (30kms from Tofu) in the next year. I would like to teach locals English or new comers Portaguese as a business. Anyone out there know if this is a viable idea?
Then another question: Is there a need for a Montessori pre-school in that area?
