Frequently asked questions

A few things people ask us before making contact.

We work across African markets and the Silk Road countries, including Central Asia, the Caucasus, Turkiye, the Gulf and the wider Belt and Road region. If you are unsure whether your market is in scope, ask, and we will tell you plainly.

No. A significant part of our work is with small and medium enterprises entering an export market for the first time. What matters is that there is a real product, service or project behind the enquiry.

Nothing. An initial enquiry and the conversation that follows carry no charge. If a piece of work needs a formal engagement, we will set out the scope and terms before anything begins.

We make introductions where we judge there is a genuine fit, having looked at both sides. We do not sell contact lists, and we will not introduce a party we cannot stand behind.

Yes. We convene business forums, delegations and matchmaking sessions in both regions, and we support organisations attending exhibitions abroad. Use the enquiry form and select partnership or trade to register interest.

Details you submit are used only to respond to your enquiry and to route it to the right person internally. We do not sell or share your information with third parties.
