Our clients

Backing the people who keep Kenya moving

Boda boda riders, SME owners and market traders are the heart of what we do.

Boda boda riders

Own your bike, buy spare parts or add another bike to your fleet.

SMEs and shop owners

Restock, renovate or open a second branch with working capital.

Market traders

Buy stock in bulk and sell more every market day.

Fishermen and fish traders

Buy nets, repair boats and stock up to sell more every day.

Your time is now

Your business is worth the next step

Every big business in Kenya started with one stall, one bike or one small shop. You already have the hustle and the dream. Do not let a lack of capital keep you small.

Tainjo is ready to stand with you. Reach out today, tell us your plan and let us help you grow it.

Why small businesses need support

Small businesses run on daily cash and tight margins. One slow week or one missed restock can stop your growth. With Tainjo you get the capital to restock, expand and serve more customers, and you repay on flexible terms planned around your cash flow, so your business keeps growing without pressure.

  • Flexible repayment terms
  • Loans shaped around your cash flow
  • A team that backs your growth

Leadership

Built from 15 years of listening to small businesses

Tainjo was born at the loan desk. In her years at Kenya Women Microfinance Bank and Letshego Kenya, Tabitha sat across the table from small business owners every day. She saw the same problems again and again: loans that did not match how traders earn, repayments that came before the money did, and good businesses held back by a lack of capital.

She started Tainjo Credit in 2018 to fix that. Every Tainjo loan is shaped around the client's real cash flow, with flexible repayment and a team that follows up.

Success stories

Market traders who started with one stall have added stock and grown their sales. Fishermen have repaired boats and bought new nets. Many clients now come back for a second and third loan as their businesses grow.

George Muigai

Business Development Manager

George is passionate about seeing small businesses win. He works on the ground with small and medium enterprises across many sectors, and he does more than give loans. He teaches clients how to plan repayments, keep simple records, separate business money from home money and put every shilling to work.

His goal is simple: every Tainjo client should finish their loan with a stronger business than when they started.
