Safaricom Business, Safaricom’s enterprise business solutions arm, recently revamped its Business Fibre plans to meet the growing demand for superior internet speeds for its business consumers in Kenya.
The revamped packages for Micro and Small enterprises are becoming increasingly popular among businesses because of Safaricom’s network reliability, 24/7 monitoring, great customer support, embedded security and an impressive 99.99% uptime. The high-speed fibre internet is designed specifically for business customers, offering reliable and fast connectivity.
To sign up for Safaricom Business Fibre you will need to fill in a Business Connectivity application form provided by an authorized sales agent or at any Safaricom shop. Then provide a certificate of incorporation or business permit, KRA Pin Certificate and an identification of the contact person. Business Fibre is billed on a postpaid basis and users receive an invoice on the 1st of each month, with payment due by the 16th.
Safaricom Business Fibre Revamped Packages
The installation is free, and equipment is provided at no additional cost though the equipment remains Safaricom’s property and must be returned if you terminate the service. If a business already has another package, it can still apply for a service change through Safaricom sales teams to migrate to the new Business Fibre packages.
The revamped packages include a 15mbps shared option ideal for micro businesses of up to five concurrent users. The 15 mbps package is the smallest package and comes with 5GB of mobile backup data and 400 mins voice plan monthly.
The second package is the 50mbps shared plan for small enterprises with up to 15 concurrent users. It includes 15GB of mobile backup data and a Closed User group voice plan that will allow up to 3 users unlimited voice communications every month.

How to Set Up Safaricom Business Fibre Internet
1. Contact Safaricom Business
Check availability of fibre internet in your area via business.safaricom.co.ke or app or calling customer care. Dial USSD *485# or visit a Safaricom shop, website on and any dealer to place an order for a desired internet package and indicate your business location.
Safaricom Business provides free routers on arrival. The routers remain a property of Safaricom and users need to pay for internet packages alone. Safaricom Business customers get free installation as well as a free month of internet connection for the first month.
2. Installation
Provide company registration and KRA details and location. Wait for Safaricom customer care representative to call you after confirming the details. Safaricom will then schedule a technician to install the fibre connection at your business premises.
If your business premises are not fibre ready, the technician will run the fibre optic cable to your premises, connect and configure your router and configure it, then set up an account for you. The technicians are mostly network administrators who know how to guide you with your account set up and on where to set up the router in your office for effective device access.
3. Testing and Activation
The installation will take about 10 to 20 minutes. New business customers are asked to suggest or create the Wi-Fi name and a secure password. Then after installation, the technician will activate the network and test it. If the Wi-Fi connection is working perfectly on a number of devices in your office, then all is set. The technician will give you a Circuit ID as a premise identification for support and security. Once connected, tested and activated, users start to enjoy high-speed internet.
4. Launch and support
Safaricom Business technicians also guide on extra network devices if needed to strengthen the network and secure it to protect your data. Businesses get support with setting up firewalls, strong passwords, and device software updates.
