Startup Capital Needed in Mozambique for Micro Business
I get the most interesting emails from entrepreneurs all over the world.

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!

Need to become a manager on March 5th, 2010 3:49 am
As I have got experience in telecoms or some other services such as Rf, Electrical works (AC/DC), rectifiers, BTS, Transmission. Also I can work in others. I suggest for you to invest in this Country, as the environment is quit and also the crime is not to high and also Mozambique is still a growing up I will be available to represent any other business or contracts which you will run lin this Country starting for registration in the government and anything which you will need.
My dream is to start a small Company or Business or to represent some contracts or others. The only problem is how to start running the Projects, because of funds and works to do. About Dimonds and other businesses we can start with that when we will formalize our conversation. After you agree with everything which we will talk about I will start to create new relation ships and I will get in the business market looking for new and good oportunities as we will need to grow up in all ways. I need to hear from you as soon as you receive my e-mail
Some people still invite me but sometimes not in serious ways.
I live in Maputo Region – Mozambique.
If interested or know someone please give a reply.

We just visited Mozambique again. There is a stand availeble on the beach. we want to develope it into a small resort. We have friends and family that is intersted. But now we need a business plan ie the cost. Where can I get prices on building, electricity, water ect ? You see nobody will give money if there is no Cost attached to build a resort.

I am Portuguese and liked to invest in Mozambique in the area of meat production, Beef or Pork or agricultural area, is in the Production of cereals and other products where there is lack of production.
I’m a registered member in MOZAMBIQUE TODAY which get information almost daily, but I miss information in these areas.
I know it from outside Mozambique many of these products and would like to assist in reducing this dependence on foreign as well as provide better living conditions for Mozambicans.
I’m just a drop in the ocean, but many drops can alter the course of a country to improve its development at all levels …
Where to invest up to 4.5 million MT in Mozambique?
Where to get information, documentation support etc..
What is in Mozambican law that allows land rent to these practices.
What is the best province for this type of investment in terms of needs and climate?
How to get people to collaborate in these areas and what the average monthly payments?
If this is not the most appropriate channel for this type of question, I request that I be offered the most appropriate service to address these issues
Thank you in advance.
Thanks
