Francophone Africa
Selling gold in Dubai through legal, traced and certified channels.
Every African market deserves its own strategy towards the Emirates. For Mali, it fits in one line: selling gold in Dubai through legal, traced and certified channels. Around that axis we build your roadmap, from a first confidential exchange to on-the-ground execution.
We work in French, with deep knowledge of Francophone Africa's business environments and of what Emirati institutions expect. AfricAdvisor is our commitment to entrepreneurs from Mali: a UAE advisor who speaks your language and knows your market.
Opportunities in detail
Dubai is one of the world's leading precious-metals hubs, and sellers from Mali can reach refineries and institutional buyers — provided the file is impeccable. We structure it end to end: documented origin, export certificates, identified counterparties, secure logistics, then introductions to the right desks.
Around this axis we mobilise our Dubai network — traders, investors, vetted providers — to turn interest into concrete files, with the same method throughout: qualification, introductions, coordination through to completion.
Opening a corporate or multi-currency account in the Emirates requires a precise file: substance, documented activity, impeccable compliance. We prepare leaders from Mali for these requirements, select the relevant banks for the profile and support every step — in strict respect of know-your-customer rules.
For wealth built in Mali, Dubai offers what is often missing elsewhere: monetary stability, robust holding structures and international managers. We frame the thinking — objectives, horizon, family governance — then arrange introductions to family offices and regulated advisers.
Your roadmap
By video call from Bamako or at our Dubai office: your situation, your objective, your timeline. No commitment at this stage.
A written action plan specific to your market: recommended structure, realistic budget, milestones, and the list of counterparties we propose to approach.
We arrange your meetings in Dubai: partners, property or facility visits, banks, institutions. You leave with working relationships, not business cards.
Signature, incorporation, first shipment or acquisition: we coordinate, then remain your permanent relay in the Emirates.
How we work with you
Frequently asked questions
Only through a documented channel: traced origin, export certificates, identified counterparties and Dubai market compliance standards. Our role is facilitation — sourcing, buyer and refinery introductions, due diligence and compliance coordination. We take part in no anonymous transactions.
Two main routes: Mainland (UAE local market) or a free zone (100% foreign ownership). We compare jurisdictions for your activity, coordinate the file, bank-account opening and, if needed, residency.
Yes, several routes exist depending on your profile: residency linked to a property investment, the 10-year Golden Visa, or an entrepreneur residency attached to your company. We identify the right route and coordinate the file with licensed providers — the final decision always rests with the UAE authorities.
Emirati banks require a solid file: a company with real substance, documented activity, a clear origin of funds. We prepare that file upstream, select the banks that fit your profile and accompany you to the meetings — in strict respect of compliance rules.
