Some of the bankable business ideas explained below

SMARTECH (PVT) LTD
Some customers are experiencing difficulties in making decisions on which items to  buy and which items not to buy ,considering their limited funds. The main problem leading to such circumstances is the absence of calculation device during shopping hence the need to manufacture a barcode reader that will assist the customers to know their aggregate costs before reaching the point of sale.

The company is a private limited company planning to enter in the manufacturing industry offering customised electronic baskets, electronic trolleys and point of sale software systems. The basket or trolley has a device that calculates whatever is bought before a consumer reaches the point of sale. This reduces the time the till operator is going to take to complete the purchase. At present in Zimbabwe there is no company manufacturing such a product. The targeted customers are retail outlets along the distribution channel.

HI-TECH CONTROL SYSTEMS
Having observed the way examinations are being conducted at different exam centres, a number of problems are being noticed .Some of the major problems are false identification and the use of hidden notes during exams.
Hi-tech control systems (HTC) Pvt Ltd is a start up company that realised the need to eliminate inconveniences and malpractices by students in examination. The idea is to be a specialised establishment that provides effective examination and invigilation services by providing a quiet and a conducive environment for writing examinations.

The idea is achieved by making sure proper clearing and authentication of candidates is done through a digitalised database. The system checks and confirms the identity of candidates, financial records and registration with the assistance of a systems analyst. It also reduces the number of invigilators by installing Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) that will be viewed and controlled in a separate room to make sure inconveniences and malpractices by students are watched and reported.

VERMIFERTILISER PVT LTD

Vermifertiliser Company is an emerging company which will manufacture Vermi-compost fertiliser. The business idea came about after we assessed the synthetic fertiliser’s adverse effects on the soil and the high prices of the synthetic fertilisers. The manufacture of fertiliser using manure, crop residual and waste from restaurants ,grocery stores, hotels and schools with the use of worms. The worms degrade the waste as they feed on and digest the waste material. It is a fast way to convert organic waste into organic fertiliser. Vermifertiliser is an excellent soil enhancer and bioactive fertiliser for organic farming.

INVERTERCARE PVT LTD
Electronics engineering is one of the fields which has changed a lot of lives for example in the telecommunication, the introduction of cell phones has made communication easier and efficient. The majority of Zimbabweans have been affected by short supply of electricity and companies have been affected by load shedding and they are no longer operating at their full capacity and this has an impact on the economy.

As Inverter Care, the company intends to embark on a massive technological innovation drive in the supply of inverters. We intend to supply, service and install inverters which will be affordable by both individual and companies. The inverters will supply electricity at 220v, 50Hz.   The inverters will be made locally and be very affordable to  individuals. The ones on the market are being imported and do not have the required technical back up, spares and service. The failure rate id very high and are also in short supply.

Inverter care has found this as a gap and would want to produce inverters with the necessary back up service. Again, the imported invertors are not good enough in terms of quality since most of them do not produce constant voltage of 220v-240vat frequency of 50Hz.This result in damaging the electrical gadgets of customers as a result. Some customers may rely on generators but as Inverter care we are saying generators are not cost effective due to continuous need to supply it with fuel. Not only that, generators produce noise and smoke which do not auger well with other customers.

BIOELECTRIC PHARMACEUTICALS PVT LTD
The company Bioelectric Pharmaceuticals was formed as result of force analogy due to a critical need of a reliable, efficient and cost benefit insulin administering device .The insulin injector target to alleviate problems being faced by diabetes patients in the administration of insulin. The device will be calibrated to administer the right amount of insulin per dose and is also designed to inject insulin into the deep subcutaneous layer which is the target site
The idea of coming up with this device was the need to eliminate trypanophobia, which is the fear of needles that the majority of patients have. Basically we are enclosing the syringe and needle of an injection into a modern unit. It also comes in various colours that allow the customers to have an element of choice. The needle is not exposed and only come become visible during injection .It also has a clock system that allows the user to set an alarm thus reminding them of when to take medication.

The needle carrying section of the device is detachable so as to avoid the use of the needle for more than a single administration. The product will be packed in a box and a manual will be enclosed to help the user. The device has a Micro SD card which records the number of times the patient has taken medication to help the medical practitioner in monitoring the patient’s health.

SERV-E PVT LTD
Serv-E is a service providing company that intends to provide market information on the groceries available in shops. Currently people move from shop to shop to acquire information on affordable and scarce grocery items hence the need for a service that encompasses all the goods at one space and allows them to be seen by anyone anywhere through the use of mobile phones and the internet.

The increased pace of modern living rarely leave one with enough time to properly search for particular items they need or want without disrupting their time schedules. Time to go for shopping while to save money especially students and working class could be costly in terms of time and budgets. More time has been devoted to mobile cellular technology for task managing, communication and time management. More business is now conducted online or via short message services (sms) or using smart phone applications on the go.

This coupled with the booming telecommunications and mobile banking industry which has led us to move in to solve the issue of minimizing search times for essentials like groceries ,medical supplies and certain hard to find items like relics while providing information on whereto find them, where prices are affordable ,if they are in stock or not ,with a choice of payment options and  a possible delivery system via our mobile software application package, which we will call the Grabber-Shopper Grocery app.

HYDREC PVT LTD

Hydrec is a start-up company that will provide hydrogen gas to chemical industries, as well as fuel industries. The business idea came about as the demand for pure hydrogen and the range of its applications have over the recent years increased enormously, the root problem being the need for new technologies of the production of hydrogen which are lee costly and environmentally friendly, Hence, after some conducted research the production of hydrogen from methane has proved  to be the most convenient and flexible method to produce hydrogen of high purity which is increasingly in demand .As solution to this problem we as “HYDREC” have decided to set up a manufacturing plant which manufactures hydrogen from methane and thus our company will be the best supplier of hydrogen which is used for instance in the production of ammonium nitrate fertilizers in particular and many other applications.

MUSHPRO PVT LTD

In the last couple of years, the cultivation and commercialisation of mushroom has been on the rise and mushroom has been sold on the local and international markets. Available on the market are exotic mushroom species namely Button and Oyster which are being cultivated by several small to medium scale growers dotted in and around Harare. There is also a big mushroom farm in Bulawayo which is also cultivating these two exotic species and selling them on the local market.

There are no individuals producing indigenous mushrooms on a perennial basis at present. Indigenous mushroom is normally only available during the rainy season from November to February thereby limiting its commercial advantage to a four months duration The Tissue Culture technique to be used for production is exclusive to MushPro which gives our company a competitive advantage over all the other firms in the industry that are using small scale methods and hence MushPro will be the only company producing indigenous mushroom at a large scale.
There is no diversity on the mushroom markets at present as only two species, button and oyster are present throughout the year excluding the rainy season. MushPro will therefore bring diversity to the local market by introducing more mushroom types to the customer which will be available all year round.

TECHSOLUTIONS
TechSolutions Pvt Ltd is a company that intends to embark on the manufacture and installation of an Automatic Dimming System (ADS) to be fitted on all vehicles brands and models.The ADS dims the headlights and fog lights of a vehicle after it has detected light radiating from an oncoming vehicle in the distance range of thirty meters. It can also dim the lights when a mobile lighting system has also been detected within the mentioned thirty meter range.
The concept of the ADS arose after it had been noted that there had been a rise in accidents during the night due to drivers” failure to dim their lights when they face oncoming traffic. The ADS is an ideal solution to curb accidents being caused by driver’s failure to dim lights due to slow reaction time which is common human error and also negligence. The ADS automatically dims the lights for the driver and hence reduces the chances of accidents due to failures to dim lights

The ADS will be manufactured incorporating proximity sensors microcontroller and optical technology .The technologies mentioned will be incorporated on a Printed Circuit Board and enclosed in a Polyvinylchloride casing. The ADS unit will be installed in on a vehicle by highly skilled personnel.

Zimbabwe’s construction industry is on a positive path and going forward its increasing day by day due to the increasing investment potential since building are considered as a realisable and stable form of investment and the increasing population of people in Harare will lead to the building of a new city and this will create growth opportunities. Enviro- Mat is a construction company that seek to specialise in the manufacturing of building materials from waste. The main aim of the business is to reduce the amount of land and water pollution at a profit.Enviro-Mat is aimed at producing workable bricks from post consumed products. The main aim for the company is to use raw materials from waste, which is cheaper but effective because they produce very strong outputs.

There are two types of bricks that the firm will be able to produce from waste and these are common and polli bricks. Common bricks can be produced from a mixture of crushed garbage and a magnetic separator that removes iron and other metals .The produced powder will then be used for the production of bricks. These types of bricks are considered to be compressive in strengths and folding resistance and they can be used for building walls.
Polli bricks are different from common bricks. There are revolutionary building materials that rare made from 100% recycled Polyethylene, Leatherette Polymer. It is translucent, naturally insulated and durable. This can modelled into any shape as long as they can interlock. They can be produced in a form of a 3Dhoneycomb self-interlocking structure making it extremely strong without any chemical adhesives, while weighing only one fifth of the standard curtain wall system. They are produced from a non toxic post consumer recycled polyethylene leatherette polymer.

ZUVA TECHNOLOGIES

There is a greater need for more affordable laptops, with solar power capabilities in Zimbabwe and Arica as a whole due to the difficulties in accessing electricity in most parts of the region and the long hours of sunlight enjoyed. The rise in population has not been augmented by the challenge providers of power in the country. The power shortages have been so severe that even schools and tertiary institutions have been known to go for days without power.
Zuva Technologies intends to satisfy the deficiencies in the market by providing high quality affordable solar powered ICT products. The company will be assembling laptops that are durable, affordable and solar powered for the convenience of our customers in the different communities. The laptops provide basic functionalities which are essential for use by all and sundry.

REUSSITE PVT LTD
With the ever growing of schools in the country,Reussite has realised how much money is in circulation in these schools and universities as pocket and petty money which is being handled in a less secure manual manner. Parents and guardians give pocket money to a child in the premise that it will be accounted for in good faith and will be used for necessities. Currently most parents particularly in boarding schools deposit money in a student book account in which they can occasionally withdraw from that acconut.It is against that assumption and background that Reusssite Pvt Ltd came up with the idea of implementing the Student Pocket Card facility across the country.

Reeussits is going to develop and facilitate a local student pocket platform that will facilitate parents in depositing or giving their dependants pocket and utility money. The platform will be integrated into local accounting system of the institution and if not intergratedable a separate platform will be placed and housed at the school. We assume that not all schools will have internet facility hence the platform being locally housed. The platform will register all students into the system by issuing each student a student ID card with either magnetic trip, bar code and micro chip to keep the card and student information together. The student will use this card to make purchases and withdrawals at the school tuckshop, dining room and accounts department. An extended approach to the platform for higher tertiary students would be to pay fees .library fees ,buy meals from  the dining and just merely keep their money safe.

Reussite will enter into an agreement with the school for transactional fees based on every transaction, this fees will be attached to the school and not the student. The platform will ensure that once the money is deposited into its master account and it will automatically update the student the student account. Balances can be checked art any of the designated points and or accounts office. The card and transaction points will prompt user to input a pin code just like a bank card to authenticate the user. We will also take liberty in putting a card holder picture on the student card to prompt the person the transaction point to visually check if the person performing the transaction is the owner of the card and pin.
