CONCEPT

"eBizguides is a whole new concept integrated within the globalization era.

We believe that you can only make long-term beneficial investments if you fall in love with the country you target.

The concept of eBizguides is quite simple. On one hand we want to present the country we cover in all its economic diversity, portraying all the different sectors and giving basic facts and information about the TOP companies.

And on the other hand, we want to give an overview of the leisure and tourism activities to be enjoyed in the country.

This is why we created our slogan 'All you need to know to do business and have fun'.

We hope you will make it yours when visiting any of the countries in our collection.

We are proud to say that we created and developed the concept of the business globetrotter - a person interested in the non-traditional investment markets, who travels for business purposes and who also wants to enjoy the country visited.

We hope you will enjoy the eBizguides community"

HISTORY

1998. Kenya. Ambosseli National Park. 9:00 p.m. The day had been an exhausting one. Business meetings all morning in chaotic Nairobi. Nothing had worked according to schedule. We did not know the country nor how it functioned. We knew nothing about their business etiquette or their working habits. We had to fight against all odds.

At the end of the working day we decided to hire a private airplane. And here we were, in unspoiled Ambosseli, under the towering Kilimanjaro, surrounded by elephants.

Out of the blue Lucia, one of our team members said: “I wish we had a business guide on how to do business in this country”. We looked at her enthusiastically, when Pascal Belda answered back: “I bet there are plenty of businessmen like us who would kill for such a guide. If there is none, I am going to make them”.

And this is how eBizguides were born.

Pascal Belda has been doing special sections for major international media for nearly fourteen years. His experience doing business in countries so different from the West such as Madagascar or Algeria convinced him of the need to start this project. He wanted to include every possible piece of information a businessman in a foreign land might need, from basic to the top 100 companies.

But businessmen are human and have fun too, so he also wanted to showcase the beauty and diversity these countries have to offer. Business and leisure at your fingertips. 7 years later 14 e-biz guides have been produced.

The dream had become real.

In 1999, eBizguides launched its first book on Kenya. Since then, eBizguides have published a comprehensive African Series of guidebooks, including guides on Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Ghana, Algeria, Mozambique, Nigeria, Libya, Sudan, Cameroon, Kenya 2 and Gambia.

2006 saw the company branch into other geographical regions, to create new a new series – eBizguides Middle East – with guides on Egypt and Syria.

Currently we are working on 4 to 6 new eBizguides per annum.

We are committed to emerging economies where information is often scarce, and where there is information it is infrequently updated.
