Evaluated on: volume and accuracy of Beninese company records, RCCM registry integration, compliance with Benin's data protection law, attribute depth, delivery flexibility, and use case fit for West African OHADA-zone market targeting.
The RCCM (Registre du Commerce et du Crédit Mobilier) is Benin's commercial and business registry, maintained under the OHADA legal framework shared across 17 Francophone African countries. It is the authoritative source for the registration and identification of all Beninese companies, making RCCM numbers the primary company identifiers for B2B data in Benin.
OHADA (Organisation pour l'Harmonisation en Afrique du Droit des Affaires) is a treaty-based legal framework that harmonises business law across 17 Francophone and Lusophone African countries, including Benin. OHADA standardises company registration, accounting (SYSCOHADA), and commercial law — making cross-border data comparisons within the OHADA zone more consistent than in non-OHADA African markets.
Benin enacted Law No. 2009-09 on the protection of personal data, enforced by the APDP (Autorité de Protection des Données Personnelles). The law regulates the collection, processing, and storage of personal data of Beninese individuals. Businesses operating in Benin or processing Beninese personal data must comply with APDP requirements.
Key B2B sectors in Benin include port logistics and transit trade (the Port of Cotonou is a major gateway for landlocked neighbouring countries), agriculture and agribusiness (cotton is a leading export), telecommunications, financial services and microfinance, construction, and retail trade. Cotonou is the economic capital and commercial hub.
