Doing business in Ol Kalou

The short answer

The Nyandarua county headquarters in a cold highland potato and dairy area. Potato and milk collection pay weekly, so trade here runs on shorter credit cycles than most market towns. What differs locally is the trading pattern rather than the paperwork: this page holds the commercial picture, and the eTIMS requirements themselves stay on the pages that cite KRA for them.
