This road has not been easy because there are certain socio-economic roadblocks that must be cleared before African governments can begin to benefit from the fruits of market economy. African governments and businessmen often complain that western investors are not interested in doing business in Africa. To attract foreign investors African nations need to have some basic infrastructure in place: For example Tele-communications, easy access to banking and bank transfers, a strong and fair tax structure, strong governmental accounting and controls, people and business identification program to know who foreign investors are doing business with and a host of others that deter prospective investors from going to Africa. Our firm offers high level consulting to African governments and businesses to overcome some of the issues outlined above. At the governmental level, we provide assistance with tax regulations and their implementation, Accounting Controls, Systems Integration and a National Program of Identification for both individuals and businesses. A good tax system must be fair and progressive and must also create confidence in foreign investors. The government should be able to raise money from a fair tax system to carry on with legitimate economic and social development. Our Overseas Consulting Division can help any progressive African government to design an effective tax system to meet the needs of the local people, business and foreign investors as well as helping to lay long term strategies to attract foreign investors quicker. Upon successfully implementing our recommendations we will draw up good and marketable proposals of the highest level to convince the large pool of prospective foreign investors who are willing to invest in countries with good and stable governments and economies.
