We're Making African Exports Simpler

One assessment at a time.

Why We Built This

African businesses have incredible products—world-class coffee, beautiful textiles, fresh produce. But when it comes to exporting across borders, most get stuck in a maze of certifications, paperwork, and regulations they don't understand.

We saw businesses spending months (sometimes years) trying to figure out if they were ready to export. Some gave up. Others shipped products only to have them rejected at customs because of a missing certificate or incorrect label.

That's not right.

So we built a platform that answers one simple question: "Am I ready to export, and if not, what exactly do I need?"

No consultants charging $500 for vague advice. No government offices sending you in circles. Just clear, honest answers based on real requirements from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, and Egypt.

What We're Here to Do

Help 10,000 African SMEs confidently start exporting by 2027.

We believe every business owner should know exactly what stands between them and their first export shipment—without spending a fortune or wasting months figuring it out.

Why Businesses Trust Us

1

Real Requirements, Not Generic Advice

Our data comes from official sources—Kenya Bureau of Standards, Tanzania Revenue Authority, Uganda National Bureau of Standards, and on-the-ground freight forwarders. We update it quarterly so you get current information, not outdated guides.

2

Built for SMEs, Not Corporations

Big companies have export departments and compliance teams. Small businesses don't. We explain everything in plain language—no jargon, no assumptions that you already know how trade works.

3

Action Plans, Not Just Information

We don't just tell you what's required. We tell you what to do first, how much it costs, how long it takes, and who to call. Your report is a roadmap you can actually follow.

4

Honest Pricing

$5 for a complete assessment. That's less than a consultant charges per minute. We make money by helping more businesses, not by overcharging a few.

Who's Behind This

We're a small team of trade specialists, software developers, and former SME owners who've experienced the export struggle firsthand. Based in Rwanda, we work with trade agencies, freight forwarders, and certification bodies across Africa to ensure our data is accurate and useful.

Organizations We Work With

We partner with trade promotion agencies, chambers of commerce, and logistics providers across Africa to keep our data current and connect businesses with reliable service providers.
