About HAR-CHE Business Solutions Ltd
HAR-CHE Business Solutions Ltd is a London-based specialist firm providing independent in-country verification, due diligence research and field checks across the DRC, Guinea and Francophone Africa. We test whether positions hold in practice before capital, contracts or cargo move: the permit behind an acquisition, the counterparty behind a contract, the documentation behind a shipment position, and the corridor behind a delivery schedule. Each engagement ends in a written verdict with the evidence behind it and the limits stated on its face. Clients are investigations and due diligence firms, law firms, insurers, financiers, traders, offtakers, operators and strategic investors carrying live exposure in the region. Engagements: Defined Enquiry: from £1,500, one defined factual question, one jurisdiction, no travel. A permit standing, a company record, an official instrument, or a document reconciled against the relevant record. Shipment File Check: £4,000, five working days, a documentary reconciliation of one DRC copper or cobalt position against the live export window. Decision Note: £6,000 to £8,000, ten working days, a written verdict on one live decision. Ground Check: from £15,000, field verification of the points that cannot be resolved from a desk, scoped in writing before travel. DRC and Guinea are core established jurisdictions. Wider Francophone Africa assignments are scoped country by country before instruction. All work is fixed fee and agreed in writing before it starts. HAR-CHE does not take success-only mandates and does not provide legal, customs or investment advice. The firm is London-registered and contracts under English-law terms. Verification draws on fifteen years of ground experience across Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Kolwezi, Kasumbalesa and Conakry, and a working network built in the region's own languages.
