For Companies

Companies around the world see great potential in Africa. Its wealth of resources and untapped markets can benefit the African people and the companies that develop those resources.

But unless a company has experience in Africa, the risks can also be high. An inexperienced company can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to develop business and never really understand why it did not succeed. Among all the opportunity, there can be difficult government bureaucracies, unreliable partners and sophisticated scams that stop business.
