Know Who You’re Dealing With Before You Commit

Timelines vary by scope and location. Your request will include an estimated turnaround once submitted.

No. Ghana, Benin and Togo are available now. The other 13 West African markets remain expansion areas; review West Africa Coverage before submitting a request.

Active members are reviewed before payment and receive the applicable Silver 5%, Gold 10% or Diamond 15% discount on the eligible BOWestAfrica service fee.

Before you send money or sign an agreement, know who and what you are dealing with. We verify agreed facts and report what can — and cannot — be confirmed. Verification supports your decision; it does not guarantee an investment, business or project outcome.

Your money remains your decision. Your project remains your project. Our role is to help you see clearly, act with better information and stay connected to what is happening on the ground. People living abroad often depend on calls, photos, relatives, contractors, suppliers or other third parties to understand what is happening locally. Information may be incomplete, delayed or different from what is happening on the ground. BOWestAfrica exists to close that visibility gap with independent checks, documentation and direct reporting.

Active members submit first. BOWestAfrica reviews the request, applies the member discount, calculates applicable taxes and confirms the price before issuing a payment request. For members, payment completion makes the confirmed request ready for BOWestAfrica activation. Active service or project work starts only after that activation; a submitted or paid-but-not-activated request is not presented as active field work.

For a fixed-price public service, a non-member may be asked to pay at checkout before BOWestAfrica completes its operational review. The payment status is Payment Received — Pending BOWestAfrica Review until the request is accepted. If BOWestAfrica determines that it cannot provide a paid non-member request, the service payment is refunded in full. Once an accepted service has started, the normal cancellation and refund terms apply.

Member service discount: Silver 5%, Gold 10%, Diamond 15% on eligible BOWestAfrica professional service fees only. Membership fees and third-party or project expenses are not discounted.

Applicable taxes are calculated through the checkout based on the transaction and billing information. BOWestAfrica does not automatically apply Québec taxes to every customer worldwide.

For members, payment completion makes the confirmed request ready for BOWestAfrica activation. Active service or project work starts only after that activation; a submitted or paid-but-not-activated request is not presented as active field work.

BOWestAfrica does not automatically hold or control the client’s full project budget. Whenever practical, clients pay verified suppliers or contractors directly. Any expense BOWestAfrica is specifically asked to handle must be authorized, documented and governed by the written agreement and appropriate legal, accounting and payment controls.

Contractors, suppliers, materials, government charges, specialist fees, travel and other third-party or project expenses are separate unless a written scope expressly includes them.
