African Business

African Business is the premier business magazine focusing on Africa. With over 140,000 readers across the continent and around the world, it is the ideal vehicle for reaching African consumers, governments and business people.

The readers of African Business are well educated decision-makers, with a high standard of living and disposable income, who have the ultimate authority to influence business strategies in their companies. Most major companies and international firms working with or in Africa subscribe to African Business. It is required reading for any business operating in Africa or wanting to venture into the Continent. 

In the May issue of African Business, out now, we look at the big funding squeeze impacting African startups. African startups attracted an estimated $2.8bn in new investments across 750 reported deals in 2024 - a 28% decline in the value of deals year-on-year and a 19% decline in the number of transactions. We ask investors what startups need to do to stand out from the crowd and thrive in the tough environment.
