The African continent still remains mysterious and unfamiliar to the majority of entrepreneurs. Only a few direct their attention toward that region, which is fundamentally incorrect. Africa is vast and encompasses not only countries like the Central African Republic and Somalia, which are plagued by constant conflict but also stable, modern states that offer developed infrastructure and greater freedom compared to Europe and the United States.

African companies and banks present you with opportunities to conduct business both within this continent and worldwide.

We offer company registration and account opening services in Africa, specifically Botswana, Zambia, and Rwanda. Upon request, we can also provide additional options, such as Sierra Leone.
