A European consumer goods company requires comprehensive market entry advisory for expansion into East Africa, specifically Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. The engagement covers market assessment, partner identification, regulatory navigation, and go-to-market strategy development with a total advisory budget of $150,000. Scope includes market sizing and segmentation analysis for the company's product categories (personal care and household products), competitive landscape mapping, distribution channel assessment, regulatory and import requirement analysis, potential partner identification and preliminary qualification, and a detailed market entry strategy with financial projections. We seek management consulting firms, market entry specialists, and advisory practices with demonstrated East African consumer goods expertise.

Success fees for partner introduction leading to signed agreements are negotiable. The client is a €200M+ revenue company with existing African presence in Morocco and South Africa. East Africa expansion is a board-level priority with budget allocated for 2026 market entry. Advisory selection will be competitive with 3-4 firms invited to present.
