Mosquito net retail in Kenya: Records and Planning Worksheets
Keep evidence that answers a real operating question
For mosquito net retail, the record should connect the promised output, its cost and the buyer's acceptance. Begin with:
Record bed dimensions, ceiling or support constraints, net model, included fittings, verified label claims, and buyer feedback about gaps or difficult access after hanging.
An order and acceptance record
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Output and exclusions | Sell mosquito nets around measured bed and hanging arrangements, distinguishing product dimensions from packaging labels and retaining evidence for any manufacturer-stated treatment description. |
| Sale unit | net or hanging kit |
| Acceptance check | Have a customer check a sample layout against the bed and available suspension points, assessing coverage, entry access, and whether the intended hanging kit is complete. |
| Missed-cost check | Include missing hooks, bulky packages, size exchanges, display samples, and time explaining compatible suspension rather than assuming every household can install the same arrangement. |
| Failure to investigate | The sale fails its practical purpose when a net fits the mattress footprint but cannot enclose the sleeping space because the hanging points are unsuitable. |
Add the date, private customer reference, agreed price, advance, balance, promised handover and actual acceptance. Record a change before carrying it out. An unresolved complaint needs its own action and follow-up date rather than being overwritten by the next order.
A supplier and cost record
For each required input, record the specification, quantity, supplier identity, quote date, delivered cost, payment terms and reason for selection. Match the record to the receipt and inspect what arrived. Keep one-time setup, recurring inputs and refundable deposits in separate categories so that the same cash movement is not counted twice.
A weekly review
Compare accepted output with started output; reconcile money collected with outstanding balances; investigate rework and returns. Review whether measured capacity can meet the next commitment. A positive surplus estimate does not remove a shortage of cash caused by late collection.
Use sources within their stated scope
- KenInvest — eProcedures licensing and county directory — Official catalogue of county business procedures and sector licensing categories. A category listing is not a complete approval checklist or fee quotation. Reference recorded 2026-10-26.
- KEBS — Standardization Mark — Product certification for locally manufactured goods; ask KEBS about the exact product standard and production model. Not a statement that each retailer needs its own manufacturing permit. Reference recorded 2026-10-26.
- DOSHS — Registration and Renewal of Workplaces — Workplace registration process and county DOSHS contact route; assess applicability to actual premises and work. Reference recorded 2026-10-26.
These references route sector and activity questions. They do not independently establish local customer demand, supplier stock, a complete budget or business profitability. A reference date records the earlier check; it is not a claim that every linked requirement was reverified today.

These recorded references support only their stated scope. They do not establish current supplier stock, actual local demand, operator competence or complete commercial feasibility. Preserve source dates and record new checks separately.
Match the evidence to a decision
| Decision question | Business-specific record to retain |
|---|---|
| Was the input fit for use? | Confirm size, stock and treatment evidence. |
| Was the work acceptable? | Wrong-size swaps are not hidden in the batch. |
| What remains unresolved? | No field trial, customer transaction or specialist validation occurred; these checks remain pending. |
The operating pack provides an itemised quote tool, supplier request, sales draft, job card, quality response sheet, evidence gaps, operations desk and cashflow/launch-review workbook.
