Business Expansion into Africa
Practical consulting for businesses establishing or expanding a footprint in Africa, with a focus on the SADC region.
Turn expansion plans into an operating plan
NEW OAK helps businesses assess how to establish a presence in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region. We work with you to clarify your priorities, understand operational requirements, and develop a practical route from initial assessment to setup.
Market-entry and footprint planning
Compare potential locations and operating models against your customers, supply chain, service needs, and budget. Define what a local presence needs to achieve and the steps required to establish it.
Logistics and supply-chain setup
Plan freight routes, customs-process requirements, warehousing, distribution, and service-provider needs. Identify dependencies and operational risks before committing to a setup.
Local partners and providers
Support the identification and assessment of potential logistics providers, agents, and local service partners, with clear selection criteria, responsibilities, and performance expectations.
Implementation and operating readiness
Build a phased setup roadmap with responsibilities, milestones, and planning assumptions. Prepare operating procedures, checklists, and document controls to support launch and handover.
Start with a focused assessment
Tell us your industry, the countries you are considering, your current operations, and your intended timeline. We agree the scope and deliverables with you, which may include an options assessment, provider-selection criteria, and an implementation roadmap.
Country-specific legal, tax, company-registration, and licensing matters are addressed with appropriately qualified local advisers.
