Founder, Africa Acquisition
Africa Acquisition is the continent's first KYC-verified, escrow-backed marketplace for buying and selling African businesses — operating across 15+ African countries with over $50M in verified deal volume.

Quick answers
Is this webinar really free?
Yes, completely. There's no upsell hiding at the end, no product being sold during the session. It's a genuine educational webinar. We run these because the more people understand how business acquisition works, the better our platform performs.
Do I need to have a business to attend?
No. This webinar is useful whether you're looking to buy, thinking about selling, or just genuinely curious about how business acquisition in Africa works. All experience levels welcome.
Will there be a replay if I can't attend live?
Yes. Everyone who registers will receive a replay link after the session, regardless of whether they attended live. Register now and you'll get it even if something comes up.
How is Africa Acquisition different from a regular business broker?
We're a marketplace, not a broker. Sellers list their businesses directly. Buyers browse and reach out. We provide the verification, escrow infrastructure, and deal support — but we don't act as an intermediary the way a broker does. This means faster deals and no broker commission.
What countries are covered?
Our platform operates across 15+ African countries including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Senegal, and more. The webinar covers principles that apply across all of them.
