International players · Entering the OHADA zone

Your anchor point
in the OHADA space

You have no team on the ground, and you are not going to build one for three deals. Mboa Make becomes your outsourced OHADA desk: origination, local due diligence, entry structuring, portfolio surveillance.

The problem

Distance costs more than risk.

You are reading a high-potential market — Cameroon, DRC, CEMAC — from an office thousands of kilometres away. Business law there is unified (OHADA), but its application is local. Reliable information does not travel through the channels you know. And a badly chosen partner costs more than a missed deal.

The principle

An anchor, not a commission

Here it is a mandate: your institution mandates and pays us for work rendered to you, not to a third party. We take no commission on the transactions we bring you — it is the only way to guarantee that a deal we judge bad, we tell you so.

That is the difference from the rest of this space: elsewhere, the client company pays. Here, you do — because you are the one we serve, and our independence of judgement is only worth something if it belongs to you.

What we operate

An outsourced OHADA desk

Origination & market reading

We source the transactions that match your criteria, and we tell you what the market does not say.

Local due diligence & entry structuring

On-the-ground verification, OHADA-compliant structuring, interface with authorities and local partners.

Portfolio surveillance

Execution monitoring, alert detection, regular reporting — you are not flying blind from abroad.

Access to Gulf capital

The 2022 CEMAC regulation opened the zone to Islamic finance. We structure AAOIFI-compliant operations — IsDB, ICD, ITFC.

How we work

01

We become your presence

Not a consultant who delivers a report and disappears: a permanent counterpart, on the ground, who answers when you call.

02

We absorb the complexity

OHADA law, local authorities, SYSCOHADA financial statements, actual practice. You take the decision; we carry the ground.

03

We tell you no

A high-potential market is not a risk-free market. An anchoring mandate is worth first for the transactions it spares you.

For an institution, a signature commits. The firm, its team, its working standards and its mandates are documented — due diligence runs on us too.
