Project Title
Scale-Up Namibia: Building the Premier Logistics Hub in Erongo
The Story (The Business Investor Perspective)
The Founder
My name is Ivan Kamseb, a 27-year-old entrepreneur and the sole founder of Ivan Kamseb Premier Trading and Logistics CC. I have spent the last few years mastering the "middleman" model of procurement and freight brokerage. I have already legally registered my company and established my roots in the high-growth zones of Henties Bay and Arandis.
The Opportunity
Namibia’s logistics sector is booming, but small-scale mining and rural schools are often underserved by big, expensive transport firms. My business bridges this gap. With 100% youth ownership and local expertise, I can provide leaner, faster, and more reliable transport solutions than the traditional competition.
Why $15,000 USD?
To move from a small brokerage to a fleet-owning logistics force, I need to move past renting vehicles. This capital will be used to purchase and secure my own assets, allowing for a 300% increase in profit margins.
The Budget Breakdown ($15,000 USD):
Fleet Acquisition ($9,000): Down payment and securing a reliable, multi-purpose seven-seater logistics vehicle (Bakkie/Van) to handle nationwide passenger and freight services.
Working Capital & Staff ($3,000): Hiring two local youth drivers and covering the first 3 months of their wages and insurance to ensure 24/7 service availability.
Technology & Marketing ($2,000): Building a professional digital booking portal and a localized marketing campaign to secure high-value contracts in the mining and education sectors.
Safety & Compliance ($1,000): Full commercial insurance, specialized permits for mining zone access (NEPL), and advanced vehicle tracking systems.
The Impact
Your investment of $15,000 isn't just helping one person; it’s launching a company that intends to hire local youth, support Namibian mining, and ensure that remote schools are never without their supplies.
