Clear answers to the questions manufacturers and exporters ask before opening an account.
Are you a registered company?
Yes. SAHEL AVENIR SARL is a limited liability company registered in the Republic of Cameroon: trade register RC/NGA/2026/B/90, D-U-N-S number 369982625 with Dun & Bradstreet. Head office in Ngaoundere. Our tax number and bank references are provided with our company file.
Are you a distributor or a trading agent?
A distributor. We buy in our own name and sell through the group's own channels: member distribution networks (Sahel Partners, Sahel Vita) and an online marketplace (Sahel Mall, in beta). Logistics and installation are being built inside the group as dedicated divisions.
Which territory do you cover?
Cameroon, from our base in Ngaoundere, along the corridor that links the port of Douala to Chad and the Central African Republic.
How do goods reach the end customer?
Through the port of Douala, where goods are cleared by a licensed customs agent, then inland to Ngaoundere. Stock and orders are tracked on software engineered by Sahel Labs.
How is after-sales service handled?
Products that require installation and maintenance — solar systems in particular — are supported by Sahel Solaire, which opens soon. We list only products we can support with a local warranty and spare parts.
What are your payment terms?
Agreed per order and set out in writing before shipment. Bank references are provided once terms are agreed.
What is your minimum order?
Share yours with us. For a first order we favour a pilot quantity, installed and monitored through a full season, before scaling to container volumes.
Do you seek exclusivity?
Open to discussion, for a defined territory and against defined volumes.
What do you need from us?
Catalogue with specifications, price list with currency and Incoterm, minimum order per product, warranty terms, spare parts availability, certifications held, and lead time from order to shipment.
