How Much Does It Cost to Secure a Shop in Kenya?
Quick answer

A secure shop is built in layers, and you can start small and add. The biggest gap first: for most shops that is a door and till camera kit, then an alarm with a siren and phone alert, then lighting, a UPS to keep it all running, and cash habits such as a drop safe. Prices change with the market, so see the live grids for current kit prices and ask for a written quote for installation.
