He also opens up about losing €200,000 in a scam, spending five years before the business stabilized, and navigating global business barriers as an African entrepreneur.

She introduced him to an SME, the deal closed at $200,000, and when he asked, "What's your fee?" she realised she had no idea what to charge. A quick search introduced her to the concept of a 7% finder's fee. She invoiced it. He paid.

After buying a 165-acre piece of land, he took just 20 acres, subdivided them into 70 self-build plots and sold them within three months.

While dozens of houses were under construction and the business demanded more capital every month, Ian wasn't paying himself. No salary. No wages. Nothing. He understood that in the early days, the business needed the money more than he did. Superior Homes Kenya 🎧 Full episode now on YouTube and all streaming platforms.

Losing 70% of your revenue overnight would break most businesses. For Haco Industries, it became the turning point. At the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali, Mary-AnnMusangi MD Haco Industries shared how losing the Bic manufacturing license forced the company to rethink survival, scale, and growth. Instead of mass layoffs, they chose reinvention. During COVID, Haco Industries became the first company to manufacture sanitizer in Kenya. But the real shift came from expanding beyond one market. Today, Haco operates across nine African countries and that scale became the difference between surviving and becoming profitable again. In Africa, where manufacturing costs remain high, scale is no longer ambition. It is survival. Despite cheaper production markets elsewhere, Haco chose to stay and protect the livelihoods behind its factories. “It’s not just about the money; it’s about our people.” #ACF2026 #OurACF2026 #OurACF26
