The Business Development Advisory Group

Reliable information on business and investment opportunities in Africa is hard to come by.

The B&M Business Development Advisory Group (BDAG) helps clients uncover, target, vet and develop business and investment opportunities in multiple sectors across the continent, highlighting potential political, economic, social, and security risk stress points.

The Applications for Business and Investment

BDAG assists clients with networking, finding local partners and financing, due diligence research, and adapting their products and services to African pricing and distribution channels, amongst other services.  

BDAG thoroughly researches all the cultural, regulatory, legal, informal, and structural challenges that a client will face in the business development stage.

BDAG also provides timely strategic analysis of political, economic, social, and security developments and forecasts their impact on a client’s business development plans.

B&M’s flexible research model and unique AfriRisk Index©, the first comparative country risk index modeled to distinctively monitor, measure, and forecast political, economic, social, and security risks unique to Africa, can be adapted to track categories of risks that can potentially derail a business development plan, including expropriation, bribery and regulatory risks.
