Client Testimonials
Testimonials from our esteemed clients…
Mohamed Sadiq
When IJaabo Group of Companies decided to establish an Ice Factory badly needed by market vendors, fishermen, restaurants, local grocery stores, and households in Mogadishu and needed a local BDS expert for a comprehensive business plan, BBI consultants were handy and helpful. In 2018, the consulting team, recommended by the SMEF project team of the World Bank Somalia, carried out a thorough business needs assessment for the proposed factory and developed a standard business plan with an investment request to the WB. IJaabo Group was delighted to receive the requested investment grant from the WB and the implementation of the project was a success! I have no hesitation to recommend the BBI Somalia team to any company seeking local experts. The institute demonstrates in-depth knowledge of BDS and delivers outstanding training and consultancy services. It also demonstrates a commitment to professionalism and client satisfaction.

In 2016, the BBI team facilitated strategic discussions for NECSOM leadership and provided outstanding technical services to develop an HR department, company structure, policies and guidelines, and delivered excellent training for the leadership and management of the company. Its work made a great impact in strengthening our company’s capacity to innovate its services using renewable sources of energy. The BBI team served our company with great competency, integrity, and creativity.

Amana Bank and Amana Mirco have the pleasure of working with and recommending without hesitation BBI Somalia and its dedicated experts. The institute conducted a standard professional development training on Developing New Managers in November 2022. This leading local business development service provider demonstrated highly distinguished commitment and competency to delivering standard leadership and management training with interactive, practical discussion exercises and case studies. I, therefore, recommend BBI Somalia and its consultancy services to anyone.
