Before our first conversation

Important questions.
Direct answers.

How long does a launch take?+

Preliminary analysis takes 7–10 business days. Full operations usually begin within 1–3 months of starting. The specific plan depends on the product and the project's readiness.

Can I order a single service?+

We work as a long-term operational representative office. We do not take on one-off assignments outside an integrated project.

How does the owner retain financial control?+

Through management reporting, KPIs, procedures and multi-level checks. We define information access and decision approval rules before launch.

Is a physical office required?+

Not necessarily. Control is provided by an agreed management structure. We choose the form of presence according to the project's needs.

Who signs contracts in Russia?+

A Russian legal entity under RUAfrica's oversight, with a clear allocation of responsibility.

How does payment work?+

Launch starts at RUB 1,500,000. Operational support starts at RUB 500,000 per month plus a percentage of turnover. The scope and final terms are agreed for each project.
