Everyone is looking for the best investment option in the country with the best returns. From research, there are a lot of options depending on how well your account is. The following are the top 10 investment options for Q1 2014.

1. Provision of transport services especially in courier, public transport, given that with stringent government rules, opportunities have opened up and the transportation of agri- produce from the farms.

2. Investment in brick making schemes. With huge demand for houses and offices countrywide, thanks to devolution, this has become a lucrative venture.
3. Investing in ICT will be key as majority of businesses look for convergence in delivery of their services.
4. The NSE and the Government Securities offer the best easy way of investments with a lot of discounted options to look at.
5. With food insecurity on the increase and given the bad harvest in 2013, green housingwill be key to plug in the short fall and it has better returns if handled well. (Check out: Chase Bank and Amiran Kenya Partnership for young farmers).
6. The devolution aspect has opened a dilemma for county businesses especially when it comes to real estate management and this is a lucrative idea that many SMEs can lurch on.
7. Specialized car washing is a business that is in demand. The available car washing points are not keen on specific needs for various models and brands of cars and this would be perfect for SMEs and youth groups.
8. Commercial and residential cleaning. This is huge, especially with a deficit of cleaning firms on a county level.
9. Garbage collection and Recycling. Well organised and specialized garbage collection is missing around the country and those with a keen eye will see the opportunity in this.
10. Convenience is the middle name for Kenyans. Offering mobile services will be key, especially if a mobile unit offering MPESA service, with express service will be key, especially in any CBD of any major town.
