Protecting Your MSME with Co-operative Bank of Kenya

Both SME and MSME are key pillars of Kenya’s economy. The sectors provide employment to 86 percent of Kenyans and contributes to more than 45 percent of Kenya’s gross domestic product (GDP).

In most cases, people never think of protecting their small businesses despite them being the sole source of livelihood. Whenever an accident occurs, such as fire, a small business can be wiped out within seconds.

Unfortunately, Kenya is prone to political violence, especially after every general election. Every time violence breaks out, the SME and MSMEs are often the first casualties and they incur painful losses.

What many people don’t know is that you can ensure your business however small it might be. You can always keep your business protected from risk by ensuring that you find the right insurance package that suits your business needs.
