Due diligence essentials for investors in Africa
A practical standard of evidence for investors assessing counterparties across African jurisdictions.
Establish identity before anything else
Confirm legal existence, current standing, registered address and the individuals actually exercising control. Beneficial ownership rarely matches the first document you are handed.
Confidence is not optimism. It is documented evidence that survives a hostile reading.
Screen for exposure, not just wrongdoing
Litigation history, regulatory action, sanctions and adverse media each indicate risk. So does an absence of any verifiable trace for a company claiming a decade of operations.
Insist on physical confirmation
A site visit resolves in one afternoon what months of correspondence cannot. Premises, staff, equipment and activity are the cheapest and most decisive evidence available.
