I want to start a Taxi business in the capital city, Lusaka, Zambia. I need to come up with a Business proposal for the business to convince my investors for this business. How can my proposal be like.

Myself (Australian) and another expat (British) have started our own unique taxi company here in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. As a developing nation there are many concerns with taking taxis, especially within the expat community eg: overcharging/robberies/dangerous & drunk taxi drivers etc. The community response we have here from both Mongolians and the expats is that we are providing a SAFE taxi service that not only everyone wants but also one that everyone NEEDS. This is the key to our growing success. Now we are looking to sell the idea to others so that they can provide the same unique yet affordable taxi business in their own cities/countries. The overhead costs are small, with the drivers being owner/drivers, which in any developing nation are easy to find - including GOOD drivers, which is what we have here. We will provide the business model, which is then simply adapted to your city. For further information feel free to email me.

Hello Everyone, I feel obliged to acknowledge the brilliant ideas and questions stated in this thread "Taxi Business". Taxi business is a tricky one for a number of reasons. In developing nations, taxi operators are rebelled as criminals especially those operating at night. The reason being that of self conduct towards customers and general public at large. One may ask, how then can we make taxi business to be a business of esteem in developing nations? My only answer to the above question is to invest in people you hire to operate your cabs through education. What type of education? Customer relations is key to any business. When you are hiring the drivers, it is important to let them know of the vision of the business by holding in doors workshops. Provide training in how to handle customers and discussions they may have during the journey while in a cab. This builds a data base for a wide clientele and in turn produce a house hold name which define a brand name. Owners of the business have to formulate a good taxi business model that will produce a culture within a company by employees (drivers). For more operational strategies for tax business, please contact me at the e mail below: t.chima@hotmail.com
