FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The essential answers for using the Innovative SMEs Showcase and registering a business.
How do I register my business?
Click on “Register my business”, create your account and confirm your email address, then fill in your profile (logo, description, contacts, location on the map). It is published once approved by the team.
Is registration free?
Yes: listing a business is free. Enhanced visibility (“Featured” placement, Pro status) is available on request from the team.
How is a profile published?
Every new profile is reviewed by a moderator before going online. Any change to public text (name, description, contacts, logo) is also reviewed again: the profile is removed from the site while it is being approved.
What does the “Verified” badge mean?
The team has checked the business's key information: management, address, contacts, sector and activity. The criteria are detailed in the verification charter.
How do I find businesses near me?
In the business list, the “Near me” button uses your device's location (with your consent) to sort businesses by distance. This location is not stored.
Who can see the map?
The interactive SME map is reserved for the platform team and Pro members.
Which countries are covered?
The platform covers the WAEMU countries and is also open to businesses, partners and opportunities from Africa and the diaspora.
