Addis Entry — investor facilitation
Every investment in Ethiopia starts with paperwork. We do the paperwork.
A facilitation service for diaspora and foreign investors setting up a business in Ethiopia — registration, permits, land, banking, and utilities, handled by people who already know which office to stand in line at.
Every visit gets a ledger number, like a customs stamp.
The file every investor in Ethiopia recognizes
The paperwork loop
Documents from one office require a stamp from another, which requires a form from the first. What should take a day takes weeks.
"Mebrat yellem"
There is no electricity — the line at the bank, the reason production stops mid-run, the reason a generator becomes a second job.
No one to call
There's no single person accountable for your file. If something stalls, you find out by showing up in person, again.
What gets stamped “handled”
- ✓Company registration & licensing, filed and tracked for you
- ✓Document and permit chasing across every office involved
- ✓Land, industrial park, and premises sourcing
- ✓Bank account setup and forex guidance
- ✓Utility and infrastructure liaison
- ✓Work permits and visas for staff
- ✓Ongoing aftercare — renewals, compliance, government relations
Would you use this?
This is a test of the idea, not a finished company yet. If a service like this would have saved you time or money, leave your email — we’ll reach out before we build anything you wouldn’t use.
