Meet Nairobi 'kinyozi' earning Sh400,000 monthly, reveals he was 'poached' for Sh1.9m
If you asked traders in downtown Nairobi, any business that wants to take over rental space would have to part with lots of money, often in the millions, toward Goodwill, which is a fee arising from the reputation that a business has built over the years and its relationship with its customers and is paid separately from the monthly rental fee. However, in an interesting turn of events, the goodwill concept has gone beyond rental contracts and has quickly caught up in the service industry where investors are paying an arm and a leg to acquire, train and retain staff. Akin to the multi-billion shilling sports transfer window signings, investors are splashing premium fees in goodwill to win and retain service providers.
