Risks to consider as investor
- Financial risk means that the individual company invested in not developing according to plan. To reduce the risk made careful examination of the owner and the financial performance of the company.
- Financial risks include market fluctuations, interest rate and currency developments. The financial risk is different in each country.
- Political risk in each country. In Africa, most countries are relatively young democracies. In most countries, democracy has evolved in a very positive way and led to some of the world’s fastest growing example. You need to be aware of how the political situation in the various countries and make an assessment.
- Cultural risk is perhaps the most severe described, and perhaps also the most important. We come from different cultural backgrounds and our worldviews are different. Therefore it is important that deep relationship is built and that takes time. With growing insights and when understanding the underlying causes of a certain course of action, it reduces the cultural risks which manifests itself in confusion, frustration and disappointment
