For many refugees, fleeing their homeland is one of the hardest decisions they ever made. Refugees left behind their homes, families and friends, coming to Europe in search for a better future. Interestingly, many of them have entrepreneurial background, so why shouldn’t we use this knowledge ?
At Davo Rep, we support returning asylum seekers, offering them the chance to set up a stable and successful business in their home country.
After a long journey, many asylum seekers face extended waiting lists and years of legal procedures. For some, this journey ends with a rejection, forcing them to return to their homeland without a clear future. This is where Davo Rep steps in. We provide these individuals not only hope, but also practical steps to rebuild their lives through entrepreneurship.
We focus on guiding entrepreneurs who want to work with consumer goods as importers or distributors in their own countries.
We provide tailor-made support to help returning refugees to Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.
We assist in creating a strong product which should result in a successful business.
We guide the development of clear, understandable contracts and agreements.
We will help to find the best products from Europe to ensure the best quality guarantees.
From sourcing reliable suppliers to negotiating prices, we ensure an efficient production process.
Our team supports communication with suppliers, manufacturers, and business partners.
We handle all necessary documentation with banks, tax authorities, and customs.
At Davo Rep, we don’t believe in fast money. We carefully choose our partners and only work with motivated individuals who have some business background and wish to create a serious company.
We invite the new entrepreneurs for a non-binding, no-nonsense conversation and check the posibities. If it feels good on both sides then we will start working together immediately.
