What we can do for you.

Business Accelerator

We roll up our sleeves with you from day one. First, we dig into what your venture really needs — then craft a tailored plan to scale your business. Whether it’s building your data room, sorting out legal docs, or tightening operations, we’re on it. And when you're ready to raise, we connect you with mission-aligned investors.

Growing? Bootstrapping? Investor-backed? Our prices meet you where you are at.

Legal Advisory Services

We bring sharp, strategic legal support that helps you stay compliant and hold your own at the deal table — especially with foreign investors. From company setup to labor law, we’ve got your back. We work with African-led businesses, governments, and nonprofits to protect their interests and power their growth.

Legal help shouldn’t be out of reach. Let’s figure out a fee that makes sense.
