Evaluated on: volume and accuracy of Burkinabè company records, RCCM and OHADA registry integration, compliance with Burkina Faso's data protection legislation and GDPR, attribute depth, delivery flexibility, and use case fit for West African market targeting.
The RCCM (Registre du Commerce et du Crédit Mobilier) is Burkina Faso's official trade and commercial registry, maintained under the OHADA (Organisation pour l'Harmonisation en Afrique du Droit des Affaires) legal framework. It assigns registration numbers to Burkinabè commercial entities and serves as the primary reference for all business legal identities in the country. The RCCM system is shared across OHADA member states, providing a standardised company registration framework across Francophone West Africa.
Burkina Faso enacted Law No. 010-2004/AN on the Protection of Personal Data, which established an early data protection framework. The CIL (Commission de l'Informatique et des Libertés) oversees data protection enforcement. Burkina Faso is a member of the ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) supplementary act on personal data protection. International providers like InfobelPRO operate under GDPR which meets or exceeds Burkinabè requirements.
Burkina Faso has approximately 60,000–100,000 registered businesses in the formal sector, though a significant proportion of economic activity occurs in the informal sector. Ouagadougou (the capital) and Bobo-Dioulasso (the second city and commercial hub) are the main centres of formal business activity. The country's formal business sector is growing, supported by OHADA business law harmonisation and the WAEMU (West African Economic and Monetary Union) economic integration framework.
Key B2B sectors in Burkina Faso include gold mining (Burkina Faso is West Africa's second-largest gold producer), cotton and agricultural processing (cotton is the main export crop), shea butter production and export (Burkina Faso is one of the world's largest shea producers), telecommunications, financial services and microfinance, construction and public works, wholesale trade, and humanitarian and development sector procurement. The country is a major transit hub for landlocked West Africa.
