What Sikakoraa does
Sikakoraa is a marketplace for local services in Kenya. Customers find a professional by service and area, compare prices, book a time and pay up front by mobile money or card.
Each business gets its own booking page, manages requests in one place and is paid out when the job is done. The name comes from a Ghanaian expression, sika koraa, which means “money, for real”.
- A booking page for every business
- A shareable link where customers choose a service, pick a time and pay.
- M-Pesa, Airtel Money and card payments
- Customers pay when they book. Payments are processed through IntaSend.
- Funds held until the job is done
- Payments are held securely and released once the job is confirmed.
- Verified businesses
- Businesses go through KYC verification, and customers can see the verified badge before they book.
- Bookings, payments and payouts in one dashboard
- Track every booking and payment, and withdraw to M-Pesa or a bank account.

Service businesses in Kenya, such as plumbers, electricians, cleaners, salons and movers, and the customers who book them.
