Services
Afrika Vantage offers a suite of Africa-focused consulting and advisory services, leveraging a network of experienced experts and trusted local partners. We blend deep market insight with entrepreneurial execution to help clients enter, invest in, and scale across African markets.
Our engagements usually start with a targeted 3- to 6-month discovery phase, featuring regular check-ins and a final recommendation report designed to set the stage for long-term success.

Market Entry
Enter and trade outside of Africa with confidence. Our market entry services support international companies entering Africa and African businesses looking to access global markets. We offer opportunity assessment, regulatory guidance, local partner development, and tailored go-to-market strategies across key African economies.

Fundraising and Transaction Support
Afrika Vantage supports deal scouting, structuring, and transaction execution across Africa. Primarily serving buy-side clients, we help investors, corporates, and startups navigate cross-border M&A and investment transactions.
