Idea

We are vested in compliance and fostering sustainable and responsible business practices, aligning with the growing emphasis on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria in today's business landscape.

Current Status

Our revenue growth, last year totalled to 45,000
Our customer acquisition cost is about 20%,
We have gained significant brand visibility within East African countries as well as Rwanda.

Market

We target small, simple structured companies (SMEs) in need of ISO Certification or customized training to review, reorganize and reinvent themselves for efficiency, performance or competitive edge.
Within our area of focus, this market is over Ksh 100M ($869,565) In currency.
I anticipate we will serve over 20 SME`s firms over the next 12 months.

Problem or Opportunity

In 2021, while attending a horticultural expo, I was intrigued by the desire of some participants in acquiring internationally recognized standards and certification but had no knowledge on where to start from, how to go about it or are stuck and find the procedure cumbersome. From that interaction, I realized of the huge gap for many SMEs in Kenya and Africa at large who want to meet and satisfy the requirements and demands of the global market. As a solution to these businesses, I decided to set up Caarel Quality.
We provide both to individuals and businesses training and consultancy services with an emphasis on corporate risk management, quality, health and safety, and environment in line with ISO Management Systems Standards.
Our services aims to give our clientele a competitive edge through adoption of the ISO Standards in their systems to help improve and maintain an influential position in the global marketplace.
