Services
Specific advice for specific markets.
We do not offer a standard menu. Every engagement starts with a question, and the answer determines the scope.
Market entry strategy
We assess whether a market is right for a client before advising on how to enter it. This includes competitive landscape analysis, regulatory environment review, and honest assessment of timing and risk.
Regulatory navigation
African regulatory environments are complex, variable, and often poorly documented. We map the actual requirements — not the official ones — and identify the people and processes that matter.
Local partnership structuring
Most African markets require or strongly benefit from local partners. We identify credible candidates, assess alignment, and advise on structure — including what to avoid.
Due diligence support
We support clients conducting due diligence on African assets, businesses, and counterparties. This includes background research, network-based verification, and risk flagging.
Stakeholder mapping
Understanding who holds influence — formal and informal — is essential in most African markets. We map the relevant landscape and advise on engagement sequencing.
Risk and compliance advisory
We advise on political risk, counterparty risk, and compliance requirements across our active markets. We do not provide legal opinions, but we work closely with legal counsel when required.
Company formation
Support with establishing and registering your company, including coordination of incorporation documents and local requirements.
Accounting and audit
Ongoing accounting, financial reporting and coordination of independent audits.
Tax advisory
Tax registration, compliance and planning support through qualified tax professionals.
Legal advisory
Coordination of legal advice on corporate matters, contracts and regulatory requirements through qualified legal professionals.
A note on scope
We are active in a limited number of markets. If your question concerns a market we do not cover, we will say so at the outset — and, where possible, suggest who might be better placed to help.
