Who we are?

INTERMARK BUSINESS INTERNATIONAL GROUP SARL (IBIG SARL) is an African multi-sector group specialising in strategic structuring, organisational development and digital solutions. Founded in 2023, IBIG SARL was designed as an integrated ecosystem — one group, nine complementary areas of expertise — to meet the full range of needs of modern organisations in French-speaking Africa.

The DNA of IBIG SARL? Structure to perform. We step in where organisations need order, direction and tools: formalising governance, training teams, digitalising processes, financing and securing assets, opening new markets. Each IBIG division is an autonomous area of expertise which, together, form a complete value chain serving our clients.

IBIG SARL serves a broad spectrum: very small businesses, SMEs, large companies, public institutions, investors, real estate developers, project owners and international organisations. Our strength: offering concrete solutions adapted to African realities, with solid local roots and international-level methods.
