Ok before we start it doesnt sound like Spam....but...

I am selling franchises for my business model and had a query from a chap in Uganda.

He has sent a lengthy email stating what he does and how he could use the service in his country - it sounds ok.

Before I call the number has anyone had any dealings with East Africa? Anything I should be aware of? TBH I didnt think they would be interested in this business but hey, my knowlege isnt that great with regards to business outside the UK!

Any pointers would be great.

Suggest you flag the potential deal up with UK TI. They will advise on how best to protect yourself and the processes of payment. Some countries have odd laws and limits on how businesses is done.

Most of the advice they give is free and well worth a call.
