Today's Idea - Staff relocation advice platform
Many expats are pouring into Africa to get their slice of an economy with incredible growth potential. Also we have local companies who relocate their staff from one location to the other.
The problem these people face (and the companies that send them) is the obvious one of relocating their staff or themselves. Things like visas, permits, housing, schooling, and so
on, are always problematic.
It’s not a logistical problem, but an informational one. Who to contact, where to start, where to go?
Yes, there are big companies that have been working in Africa for decades that have staff relocating systems and support structures in place. But, most companies or individuals need to start from scratch and have to piece the relocation information together from various experts.
So, become a one stop shop for staff relocation advice. Imagine a website you can log on to that tracks every step of the process. To bring down the start-up costs, you can do this in two stages:
1. Start with digital guides (PDF files, designed nicely, and packed with quality up-to-date information)
2. Once up and running, expand your site to a web platform where clients can track every step, review quotes for various services and tap into immediate online expert support
For inspiration look at Move Guides - https://www.moveguides.com/solutions-by-function-employees. Take this model and apply it to Africa and you will have companies and individuals queuing up.
The business model: Start selling the guides as digital guides, then flip the model to a monthly subscription once you have the web platform going.
