Why Mobile Phone Repair is a Goldmine for Kenyan Entrepreneurs
If you’re looking for a skill that guarantees steady income and minimal startup costs, mobile phone repair might be your answer. In Eldoret and across Kenya, smartphone damage is virtually guaranteed—cracked screens, battery issues, water damage, software problems. Every day, hundreds of people need repairs, and there simply aren’t enough technicians to meet demand.
The beauty of this business? Profit margins are fantastic. A screen replacement that costs you KES 2,000 to 3,000 in parts and labour can be sold for KES 6,000 to 9,000. Battery replacements, charging port repairs, motherboard fixes—each service stacks up to real income. And unlike many businesses, you don’t need a massive shop or expensive equipment to get started.
The Market Demand in Eldoret and Beyond
Eldoret has exploded over the last five years. More people own smartphones, more phones get damaged, and more businesses need reliable repair services. But here’s the catch: there aren’t enough skilled technicians. That’s where you come in.
Beyond Eldoret, demand is even stronger in Nairobi, Kisumu, Nakuru, and smaller towns. Once you’re trained, you could:
- Operate a physical repair shop in your neighbourhood
- Offer mobile repair services (visit clients’ homes or offices)
- Work with businesses that rely on phones (banks, hotels, schools)
- Service other technicians who don’t handle certain repairs
- Expand into tablet and laptop repairs later
What You’ll Learn at MTTI Eldoret
Our mobile phone repair course covers everything you need to become a professional technician. You’ll learn to diagnose problems, replace screens and batteries, repair charging ports, fix motherboards, and handle software issues. The hands-on training means you’ll work with real phones and actual tools—not just theory.
The course is designed for people like you: anyone aged 18-35 with ambition. You don’t need prior tech experience. By the end, you’ll have practical skills that employers want, plus the confidence to start your own business.
The Cost and Payment Options
At MTTI Eldoret, our mobile phone repair course costs just KES 15,000. That’s incredibly affordable for a skill that can generate income within weeks of completion. And we know money is tight—that’s why we offer flexible installment payment plans.
You can pay via M-Pesa using our Paybill number 880100 with Account 219391, or ask about installment options when you call. Many of our students pay in chunks while attending class, making it stress-free.
Self-Employment: Start Your Own Repair Business
Imagine this: You finish the course, invest KES 30,000 to 50,000 in basic tools (soldering iron, screwdrivers, screens, batteries, testing equipment), and open a small repair shop. Within your first month, you’re fixing 10-15 phones. At average earnings of KES 3,000 to 5,000 per phone, you’re making KES 30,000 to 75,000 monthly. Your costs are minimal—mainly replacement parts.
After six months, you’ve recovered your investment and you’re pure profit. After a year, you could be making KES 100,000+ monthly, depending on how many phones you repair and your pricing.
The beauty of this business is flexibility. You control your hours, your prices, and your growth. If you want to scale, hire other technicians. If you want simple income, work part-time from your garage or a small shop. Many MTTI graduates do exactly this.
Real Profit Breakdown
Let’s do the math on potential earnings:
- Screen replacement: Cost KES 2,500, charge KES 7,000. Profit: KES 4,500 (20–30 minutes work)
- Battery replacement: Cost KES 1,500, charge KES 4,500. Profit: KES 3,000 (15 minutes work)
- Charging port repair: Cost KES 800, charge KES 3,500. Profit: KES 2,700 (30 minutes work)
- Software fixes: Cost near zero, charge KES 2,000. Profit: KES 2,000 (varies)
Fix just 5 phones per day averaging KES 3,000 profit each, and you’re at KES 75,000 per week. That’s KES 300,000+ monthly—better than most formal jobs.
