AI-powered market entry into Africa.
TryLaunchpad helps Chinese and global companies set up, license and operate in Africa. It combines an AI advisor with people on the ground: company registration, permits, compliance, payments, hiring and offices, delivered as a launch that is handed over to the client’s own team. We launch. You manage.

Everything between “we want to be in Africa” and a running business.
Business setup and registration
Incorporation across African markets, director appointments, registered office and bank account opening - typically within 3–7 days.
Licensing and permits
An AI-assisted catalogue of licences across Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Tanzania, with fees, timelines and documents, and a team that files them.
Market entry strategy
AI-driven market analysis, go-to-market playbooks and partner matching for the sector and country you are entering.
Payments and fintech setup
Mobile money, card processing and cross-border settlement, including WeChat Pay and Alipay acceptance for Chinese operators.
Operations, HR and offices
Local hiring, payroll, employer-of-record, office space and equipment, so the business runs from day one.
Trade and logistics
Customs clearance, AfCFTA compliance, trade finance and warehousing for companies moving goods into and across Africa.
Built for Chinese companies, in Mandarin.
TryLaunchpad’s China Hub serves the fastest-growing group of new entrants into Africa: Chinese manufacturers, fintechs, e-commerce and solar companies. Native Mandarin advisors, China-specific trade corridors, document authentication through the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and African embassies, work permits and banking for Chinese-owned firms.
