Ndoleta

The Idea

Introduction

Ndoleta is an online marketplace for car sales and car rental.We are serving the Kenyan market at the moment.

We are transforming a traditional car dealership into an online marketplace.We engage car sellers and car renters to post their cars, then we do the marketing ourselves and sell on their behalf.

The platform disrupts traditional car dealership style of being a shopkeeper of a fleet of cars waiting for a buyer.It is the effective and economical model of business.

Intended impact

Ndoleta.com is a car website. It combines car sales, car rental, auto parts, and services. The online platform revolutionizes the experience, better pricing, and easier booking. It lets you have all the information at your finger tips. This gives the easier way to plan a car buying or renting experience. We make it so simple and you do not need to visit multiple websites to plan. Welcome to the home of cars where travel and car purchase planning is simple, flexible and personal.Ndoleta.com helps you Buy, Rent & Sell cars online in Kenya. Why ndoleta.com is the number one Kenyan car site.We intend to offer alternative ways of car purchase in Kenya.We also intend to create a car sharing platform for car owners to earn extra income.All the above is intended to offer a solution to the Kenyan market for now.In future, we will expand to the East African countries as well.

Substantial accomplishments to date

We have developed a wonderful website that is the marketplace.
All our major social media platforms are now working.
We have connected a number car rental clients to car owners on a trial basis.
We have sold 3 units of cars since July.
Over 30 cars listed on our site.
Insurance negotiation is underway.

Monetisation strategy

Ndoleta is a platform that monetizes both sides - the car owners and the hirers&car buyers.
Registration Charge on posting car i.e Car sales and Car rental-Registration of Kshs.2500
Charge on car rental booked.Car buyer is charged 15% and the Car hirer 10%
The charge on car sales Kshs.35000.Cost passed to the buyer.

Use of proceeds

Having launched in Nairobi with growth that surpassed expectations we are raising capital to increase our car rental business and boost our car sales. We need some cash injection to help us in:
· c-
· Continued platform development
· Hiring of more staff
· To open three offices in Eldoret, Mombasa & Nakuru

A further capital of approximately 500000 USD will be required next year to drive national and international expansion using the blueprint we are able to develop this year in Nairobi.
