30 digital business ideas to create in Cameroon in 2021

Cameroon is the new land of start-ups and entrepreneurship.  With economic development and the birth of a real middle class, business opportunities are multiplying.

Many trained and creative Cameroonians want to undertake and are looking for profitable business ideas to create, to make a fortune or simply to live passionately and comfortably.

There is no shortage of promising sectors:  tourism, energy, construction and building, internet and social networks, training, services, but also more traditional sectors such as agri-food or games.

However, the Cameroonian business environment presents obstacles:

• difficult access to financing,
• administrative and customs barriers,
• legal problems,
• difficulty in recruiting qualified or trusted staff,
• infrastructure and industrial fabric sometimes too underdeveloped.

For each of these obstacles, the Cameroonian entrepreneur will have to find a solution, or create it himself!

A word of advice:  start from the needs of the clientele, be creative and imaginative. Go determined, while remaining patient, because the seeds sown always take time to germinate. Network and share your experiences. 

Doing business and succeeding in Cameroon is not easy, but spaces exist to find your place.
