I Screen Businesses for a Living
BizInfo Africa is built and curated by James Opembe. The practice lives at ASAP Information Services Limited, the Nairobi due diligence firm where he is Executive Director; the reports stay confidential there. The lessons live here: a podcast, a journal, and free assessment tools, all built from what fifteen years of verification work across East Africa actually finds.
