All Business Africa

How this platform works

Written for somebody who has never seen this platform before. Read it in order and you should be able to use it without anybody sitting beside you.

Every page here was checked against the platform itself rather than against a plan for it, and where something looks built and is not, the page says so instead of leaving it out. That is the part worth trusting: a guide that only describes what works would not tell you which of the buttons on your screen will not do anything.

Getting started

What this platform is, and what an account gets you.

What All Business Africa isWorks todayThe four kinds of record this platform holds, where they come from, and what it does not hold.Accounts, plans and what each one getsHas a limitRegistering, the free tier, what Insider adds, what it costs, and the features that are gated.

Finding and following opportunities

Searching the board, reading a record properly, and keeping track of what you are working on.

Finding a tenderHas a limitThe board, the seven filters, what each sort order actually does, and saving a search so it comes back to you.Reading a tender properlyHas a limitKey Information, the sections that are the buyer's own words, the deadline, and the three honest states of the documents section.Saving, tracking and being toldHas a limitYour dashboard: saved items, the application tracker, matching, the deadline calendar, the re-tender radar and alerts.

The AI tools

One page each. Every page says what the tool reads, what it will refuse to say, and what it costs you.

The AI tools: what they are and what they refuseHas a limitNine tools in two places, what each one reads, the rule that stops them inventing figures, and which of them nobody has ever run.Assess a tender or a funding callWorks todayThe one AI tool on the free tier. It reads a notice and its documents, asks you what they cannot answer, and scores your chances.Analyse a documentHas a limitThe same engine as Assess, pointed at a document. Read this before you go looking for an upload button, because there is not one.Bid readiness: can I bid on this?Has a limitReads a tender's own documents and sorts what it asks of you into four groups, including the one that would rule you out.Buyer intelligenceHas a limitWhat a buyer has actually bought, from the award archive. Every figure can be opened and traced back to individual awards.The match scoutHas a limitReads the notices themselves rather than the ranking, quotes why each one fits, and puts what it finds on your tracker. It can be taken back.The proposal generatorHas a limitDrafts a response to a notice this platform already holds, with a compliance matrix quoted word for word. Read the warning about losing your draft first.The business plan writerHas a limitWrites a plan from your records and your answers, then shows you every figure it took back out for want of support.The pitch deck builderHas a limitBuilds a deck for one named investor out of their own record, and throws the whole deck away rather than hand you a generic one.Market researchHas a limitA preliminary report on one sector in one country, built only out of records this platform holds, with the search counts shown.Financial templatesNot usable yetBuilt, gated and reachable, and never once run by anybody. This page says what is there and stops short of describing output nobody has seen.

Working with other people

Drafts, colleagues, and the wall between a shared workspace and your own documents.

Working on a proposal with other peopleHas a limitWhat a workspace actually is on this platform, how to bring in a colleague, and the firewall that means they cannot see your evidence.

Your own records

Claiming a company, correcting what is published, and asking for a page to be taken down.

Your company profile: claiming, correcting, removingHas a limitWhat a claim actually grants, what it does not, the limits on how often you may claim, and how to correct or remove what is published about you.

For staff

The review queue, what approving actually publishes, and how this portal is corrected. Not part of the member area.

For staff: the review queue and what approving publishesHas a limitWhat a reviewer decides, what happens the instant they press approve, and the actions that cannot be undone.For staff: how this portal is kept trueWorks todayWhere the words live, how to change one, what a check will catch for you, and the honest cost of the way it was built.

Every count and every statement about what is switched on was measured against this platform on 7 September 2026. Counts move. Where a page prints one it also prints that date, so you can see how old it is. If something here disagrees with what is on your screen, the screen is right and the page needs correcting: see how this portal is kept true.
