Photo restoration service in Kenya: Planning Worksheets and Source Register
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to photo restoration service.
This is a planning reference for photo restoration service. 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 sample order: digitally restore four family photographs supplied by their owner: two faded colour prints and two black-and-white prints with minor surface scratches. Deliver a preserved scan and a separately labelled restored file for each, plus a four-image approval sheet. The commission excludes physical conservation, reconstruction of missing faces, documentary authentication and guessed colourization. Work from digital copies whenever possible; valuable, flaking or stuck photographs go to a conservation specialist rather than being peeled, scrubbed or fed through an automatic scanner.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0675: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 4 priced units at KSh 1,500.00 each. Buyer group: Families and archives with damaged printed or digital images. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 4 x KSh 1,500.00 = KSh 6,000.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 5,000.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 1,000.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 1,800.00. The invoice balance is KSh 4,200.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 3,200.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
These sample entries are not your actual job records. Keep names, contacts and payment references in private copies. The paid pack contains offline editable costing, operations and cash-planning tools; this public sheet explains how the records connect.
