From my understanding you must have seen a gap of unavailability of LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) in the society, as a business opportunity that can be exploited. LPG is among products whose market is yet to be exploited countrywide. Issues that limit LPG market penetration include unavailability, affordability, lack of public awareness, expensive cooking gas appliances, lack of storage facilities and poor distribution infrastructure. These are the problems which an entrepreneur will see and come up with the solution to quencher this challenge and make money out of it. Look around which brand is closer or accepted in your area for instance Mihan Gas. With a rapidly growing population in Tanzania, the fast changing lifestyles, old housing arrangements are being phased out to pave way for the high rise apartments and modern gated communities. Occupants of this type of modern life style are young families in the middle class and upper middle class who are professionals yearning for convenient lifestyles as they climb the ladder in their professional careers. Time in this manner is so valuable to every person now. With the busy schedules people are willing to pay for convenience. Now you can have a clue or see this niche market of consumers of LPG and by providing convenient way of purchasing gas cylinders. Start slowly as time goes by people will get used to buy from your outlet.
Hakuna mtu anae weza kumiliki soko la gas akaliweza, hakuna.
For those who are interested you can have a look at these whole sale and retail price in the attachment.
This will pay you more if you own a motorbike Honda type 110 to be used for home delivery services. Whereby you will charge a customer depending on the distance within a given area. Also try to offer convenience (If a person has tigo or m-pesa you should provide the service).
In Dar tunaitaji dealers at airport area, Kitunda, Gongo La Mboto, Mombasa, Pugu, Vigunguti, Temeke, Tandika, Yombo, Kipawa, Ukonga, Banana, Mbagala, Buza, Chanika & Kisarawe.

Good news for consumers kwa wenye kuitaji majiko ya gas in Dar, Mwanza and Arusha. Unaweza kopeshwa jiko la gas kwa kupitia Equity bank ili kila raia mwenye kuitaji atakopeshwa either kwa kupitisha mshahara wake katika benki husika or kwa kujiunga katika vikundi vya watu 5 then mnadhaminiana wote. Kwa mfumo huu wa kudhaminiana each will have to pay 30,000 down payment. For 15kg na jiko la plate 2 you will pay 75,000 as down payment.
Pia kwa kutumia mfumo huu huu unaweza kopeshwa gas if you dont have cash. Huduma inapatikana katika vituo vyote vya Mihan Gas pekee.
For those who are interested PM for more information.
