About us
An Ivorian group, at the service of those who build
Since 2011, BABO INVESTMENT has been supporting entrepreneurs, investors and institutions in Côte d'Ivoire and across West Africa.
01 — Our story
BABO INVESTMENT was born from a simple observation: good projects often fail for lack of method, not for lack of ambition.
Founded in 2011 in Abidjan, the company first worked with Ivorian SMEs facing the same recurring obstacles: difficulty presenting a solid bank file, mistrust of the land market, lack of tax bearings, and a management burden that consumed operating time.
Practice by practice, the company widened its scope to cover the whole value chain of a project: consulting, funding, real estate, skills and services. Today, five practices work hand in hand, with a single rule: never recommend what we would not apply to our own projects.

02 — Values
What guides every decision we make
Exigence
A deliverable you cannot use is not a deliverable. We keep working until it is.
Proximity
A named, reachable contact who knows your file. No anonymous call centre.
Long term
We would rather have a client supported for ten years than a single engagement. Our model is built on recurrence.
Rootedness
Our references come from here: local network, ground knowledge, understanding of practices.
03 — Governance & team
A lean governance and clearly defined responsibilities: every engagement is led by a partner.
