Fragmented Trust
No shared verification standards. Buyers can't confirm if a supplier is legitimate, and suppliers can't prove their track record to new markets. Due diligence takes months.

The Challenge
Why U.S.–Africa Trade Is Harder Than It Should Be
Billions in trade potential go unrealized every year. The barriers are systemic, not accidental.
Compliance Complexity
AGOA rules, OFAC sanctions, FDA import requirements, phytosanitary standards. Regulations differ by country, sector, and product. Most SMEs can't navigate this alone.
Payment & FX Friction
Cross-border payments cost 5-12% in fees. FX volatility erodes margins. Escrow services are rare. Buyers and sellers both face counterparty risk on every transaction.
How It Works
From Discovery to Growth in Five Steps
BWA structures the entire trade lifecycle so you can focus on your business, not bureaucracy.

Search verified companies by sector, corridor, certification, or trade history.
Verify
Review Trust Scores, compliance status, and third-party verifications before engaging.
Structure
Use Deal Rooms to negotiate terms, share documents, and manage milestones.
Execute
Smart Escrow, compliance copilot, and logistics tracking handle the hard parts.
Grow
Build your trade record. Unlock financing, new corridors, and repeat deal flow.

Hear from businesses already using BWA to structure cross-border trade.
We closed our first cocoa supply deal in 6 weeks instead of the usual 6 months. The compliance copilot alone saved us from two regulatory blockers we didn't even know about.
