Moori Mabiria, one of the directors of Gardman Security Limited, says you’ll need at least Sh250,000 to start with in capital. Most of the money will go to company registration and to obtaining the necessary licenses.

You’ll also need to procure uniforms and other accessories such as walkie-talkie kits and scanners. A guard’s full uniform (Boots, trousers, Shirt, Cap, whistle, Rungu, walkie-talkie) will set you back Sh20,000.
