Questions

Common questions

What does this cost me?

Nothing. The diaspora side of SEZ Africa is free. Zones pay us to reach qualified builders, which is exactly how it should be.

Do I need a company in the target country first?

Usually you incorporate locally as part of zone entry. Kenya, for example, requires a locally registered company and a minimum investment of USD 150,000 for zone enterprises. We flag each zone's requirements before any introduction.

Who sees my information?

Our team, and only the zones matched to your intent, and only with your consent. We never sell the list.

I am exploring, not ready. Should I still register?

Yes. Exploring is a timeline option. You will receive corridor guides and ranking updates for your countries, and nothing else.
