The U.S. Commercial Service Kenya can assist U.S. companies or their partners with researching the bona fides, credit worthiness, and business history of companies based in Eastern Africa. From a simple email verification request on the existence or reputation of locally based companies to the more comprehensive and detailed International Company Profile (ICP) service, U.S. CS Nairobi can provide U.S. firms with information from a variety of sources as they decide whether a proposed agent, distributor, buyer, or joint venture partner is a good business counterparty.

The ICP due diligence process involves an assessment of a local company’s registration, analysis of corporate history, corporate structure, company background, executive information, financial profiles, banking and auditing information, operating situation, staff size, range of products, facilities, profiles of subsidiaries and affiliates, current challenges, market capabilities, and more.
