Infographic design in Kenya: Startup Budget and Quotation Checklist
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Define what must be funded before the first order
Build a startup quotation schedule for Source dataset, Chart/layout tool, A4 proof; separate setup, operating inputs and working cash.
This is a planning reference for infographic design. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional infographic INF-52 summarises a supplied repair-shop dataset of 100 completed jobs:40 punctures,30 brake adjustments,20 gear adjustments and 10 other repairs. These are invented teaching data, not a real shop's performance. Output is one A4 infographic, a social crop and a text/table equivalent. Headline: 'What our example 100 jobs involved'. Four bars share a zero baseline, with direct counts and a stated period placeholder. No causal claims or survey inference is added.
A quotation checklist for this business
| Resource | Exact request to price | Check before accepting the quote |
|---|---|---|
| Source dataset | Client-approved table with category definitions and period. | Check sum/denominator and preserve original data separately. |
| Chart/layout tool | Accurate chart scaling and editable labels. | Measure a 40-count bar against 20-count bar; it should be twice the length on the same scale. |
| A4 proof | One full-size colour proof and one grayscale proof. | Confirm labels and patterns remain understandable without colour. |
Keep the budget categories separate
- Source dataset: Client-approved table with category definitions and period. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and check sum/denominator and preserve original data separately.
- Chart/layout tool: Accurate chart scaling and editable labels. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and measure a 40-count bar against 20-count bar; it should be twice the length on the same scale.
- A4 proof: One full-size colour proof and one grayscale proof. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and confirm labels and patterns remain understandable without colour.
- Record equipment acquisition OR an appropriate use allocation, plus the full stock/minimum-order cash requirement; do not count both as the same per-job expense.
- Obtain actual labour, premises, transport, energy/water, rework, payment and ongoing overhead amounts relevant to this activity. Identify deposits, receivables and payment dates separately.
- Resolve the guide-specific evidence gaps listed in section 10. Any activity-specific permission, testing or specialist costs require actual scope and quotations, not an invented allowance.
What the selected teaching bill includes
| Selected line | Example quantity | Assumed rate | Selected cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data verification hours | 1.5 | KSh 500.00 | KSh 750.00 |
| Infographic/crop design hours | 3 | KSh 500.00 | KSh 1,500.00 |
| Text equivalent/proof hours | 1.5 | KSh 450.00 | KSh 675.00 |
| A4 proof pages | 2 | KSh 40.00 | KSh 80.00 |
These selected lines total KSh 3,005.00. They are a fictional operating example, not the full cash needed to start infographic design. Illustrative cost is 750+1,500+675+80=3,005. One assumed 4,500 package gives 1,495 pre-tax planning surplus. New research, data cleaning beyond the supplied table, printing runs, stock illustration, tax and additional languages are excluded. All 100 jobs are fictional example data; no business result or current market demand is inferred. Quote a larger or multi-series dataset separately after reviewing its structure.
Close the budget before spending
For each actual quotation, record the delivered quantity, specification, cash due date, hire/purchase option and quote expiry. Keep an unknown cost blank. Reusable equipment purchase, an appropriate use allocation and refundable deposits are different records; do not count the same item twice.
- No real dataset supplied or infographic rendered.
- Actual data definitions, period and client approval must be verified.
