How to expand a business into Africa

Build an expansion plan that respects different market, regulatory and operating realities.

African expansion requires country-specific choices across regulation, partners, local content, trade, workforce, logistics and risk.

A practical framework

  1. Define the country and regional objective. Translate the principle into a specific decision, action, owner and evidence requirement.
  2. Compare market realities. Translate the principle into a specific decision, action, owner and evidence requirement.
  3. Design the local operating model. Translate the principle into a specific decision, action, owner and evidence requirement.
  4. Control regulation, trade and risk. Translate the principle into a specific decision, action, owner and evidence requirement.
  5. Launch through measurable milestones. Translate the principle into a specific decision, action, owner and evidence requirement.

Questions to ask before acting

  • What outcome are we trying to achieve, and how will success be recognised?
  • Which assumptions are supported by evidence, and which still need to be tested?
  • What resources, responsibilities, dependencies and risks shape the decision?
  • What should happen first, and what should not happen yet?
  • When will the plan be reviewed and adapted?
