provides a roadmap of exciting business opportunities in Benin for existing and potential investors in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector.

In addition to access to finance, which is one of the biggest challenges for SMEs in the diaspora, the guide provides information on useful statutory and private organisations whose functions may have implications for businesses operating in Benin. It provides case studies on some of the situations companies frequently face and the strategies adopted to overcome them successfully.
