It is essential that U.S. companies investigate the credibility and reputation of a business prior to signing a contract or entering into an agreement.  Due to limited access to information, companies might struggle to verify the legitimacy of the local entity.

There is no central repository of information or credit agency that publicizes financial information for Mozambican companies.  The U.S. Commercial Service provides an International Company Profile (ICP) which can be used to obtain information on a potential business partner.

For more detailed due diligence and background reviews, U.S. companies are advised to contact international consulting firms with local offices.
