Even though some brave lucky  foreigners succeed on their own to establish profitable  business ventures in Sub-Sahara Africa, my consistent  advice to all,  is that foreigners planning to set up business in Africa  should always consider working with trusted local partners. In brief these are my  reasons why having  a local honest business partner matters:

  • Different cultures and work ethics.
  • In most of Sub-Sahara African countries, the systems which are supposed to support businesses are weak.
  • In some of the countries in Sub-Sahara Africa, the risk of crimes is high because of the following reasons:
  • Large population of energetic unemployed youths.
  • Weak law enforcement  and judicial systems.
  • Lack of a social welfare system such as that found in most European countries.
  • Poor pay coupled with poor working conditions of public servants.
  • Corruption tendencies by some Officials occupying high offices where big decisions are taken.
