ABOSE is for African-owned businesses — anywhere in the world. Real business details are required: your business name, your country, and a way for customers to reach you. No anonymous links. Your listing runs through an AI safety screen and pattern checks, then waits in the review queue — nothing goes live until it's approved. Financial services and remittance are not listed in this version.

🏪 No website? You still belong here.

Selling from a market stall, on the street, from home, or through WhatsApp and your phone alone? List exactly like that — your stall, street, or neighborhood and your phone number are enough. ABOSE leaves no African seller out.

Website ma lihid? Weli waad ka mid tahay. Ku iibi suuq, waddada dhinaceeda, guriga, ama WhatsApp iyo telefoonkaaga oo keliya — meesha aad joogto iyo lambarkaaga ayaa ku filan. Boodhkani ma dhaafo ganacsade Afrikaan ah.

Safety & Trust

How ABOSE earns your trust

Trust here isn't a promise — it's a process. Every African business and every post on ABOSE passes the same checks below before it goes live, and the community can pull anything that slips through.

Never allowed on ABOSE

    Honest note: this panel describes how ABOSE is built and run — the checks above happen on every submission before anything goes live. It is not a live scan of the internet and not a guarantee. If something ever looks wrong, report it by email and it will be reviewed.

    Every African business owner on one trusted board — the shop with a website and the street seller with only a phone. Nobody left out.

    African businesses are scattered across group chats and word of mouth, with no single place to be found. I built ABOSE — African Business Owners Search Engine — so owners can be discovered in one place and connect with real names and real details.

      The road ahead — Traffic first — grow ABOSE on aboseboard.com, then launch the app.

      What's next

      What's next: the Network, then the app

      ABOSE grows in the open. Next comes the owner Network — a safe room where African owners find partners, suppliers, and each other — and after that, the ABOSE app for iOS and Android. Neither is switched on by a date. They open when the board reaches the traffic gate the founder set:

      50

      Live businesses

      Ganacsiyo nool oo boodhka ku jira

      25

      Network posts

      Qoraallo is-xiriir oo nool

      500

      Visits & contact taps

      Booqashooyin & taabashooyin xiriir

      Every listing, share, and visit moves the board toward the gate. When all three numbers are real, the Network opens and the app build starts — website first, app second, no shortcuts.
