Your verification and sourcing partner on the ground in Africa
We help international buyers find, verify and buy from African suppliers safely — before you send a single dollar.
Fake exporters
Companies that don't exist, or can't actually export, take your deposit and vanish.
Photoshopped documents
Licenses, certificates and bank details that look real until your money is gone.
Shipments that never load
Containers short-loaded, swapped, or never packed — discovered only on arrival.
This is why we exist.

View a sample reportGhana first — where our ground presence is deepest
Ghana is one of Africa's lowest-friction origins: English-speaking, politically stable, and a long-established exporter of cocoa, shea and cashew. That's where our people are, and where our verification is strongest.
More origins as clients demand them — Egypt and Nigeria next. We'd rather be honest about where we're strong than claim a whole continent.
