Frequently asked questions
Which countries do you cover in Africa?
Our core expertise and direct operational footprint covers North Africa: Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, and Libya, with extended sub-Saharan coverage through accredited local partners.
How are recommended credit exposure limits calculated?
Our analysts balance working capital, net cash, debt service, revenue trajectory, reported trade payment habits, and local market risk to establish a safe credit ceiling.
Do you offer multi-country corporate subscription packages?
Yes. We offer volume investigation packages and enterprise API subscriptions for organizations with ongoing trade risk requirements across North Africa.
What is the difference between a registry extract and a business intelligence report?
The extract issued by the national registry (RNE in Tunisia, the trade register in Morocco, CNRC in Algeria) proves the company legally exists. A business intelligence report starts from that data and adds financial analysis, a credit risk assessment, ownership and legal events.
Are delivery times the same in every country?
Yes: Flash (2 business days), Express (5 business days) and Standard (8 business days), whatever the country of the company.
