We help diaspora entrepreneurs, international businesses and institutions assess opportunities and develop commercial operations in Nigeria and selected African markets.
From market-entry planning and financial modelling to partnerships, technology and implementation, our services help clients move from an initial objective to a defined programme of work.
Africa Business Services is a commercial offering of EmergX Capital, complementing our core venture investment and company-building activities.

For organisations assessing market entry, distribution, commercial partnerships, joint ventures or expansion into selected African markets.
For companies seeking stronger commercial planning, financial information, technology, customer development or implementation capability.
