Kenya proves to have a steadily growing franchising market. Franchise companies in Kenya are present in practically every branch of the economy. The most successful franchises are in the hospitality sector as well as clothing and fuel. The growing economy has created franchise opportunities, especially in such segments as restaurants, food and beverages, services, clothing leisure and recreational activities due to the reported rise of the consumer expenditure.

As franchising is still developing in the country there are no specific franchising laws adopted in Kenya. The franchise start-up cost varies by industry and is about $100,000 for food and restaurant industries, $50,000 for accounting and finance, $25,000 for business services and $10,000 for advertising and marketing.
