SAM Conseils

What SAM Conseils does

SAM Conseils is a licensed boutique consulting firm headquartered in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, operating with a 6-person team since approximately 2016 (consistent with its "9 years of experience" claim). The firm delivers three integrated service lines: (i) Regulatory Compliance and Tax Expertise, covering business creation, statutory compliance, tax optimization, and fiscal risk management; (ii) Training and Skills Development, providing customized and qualifying professional training programs and team building; and (iii) HR Expertise, including permanent and temporary recruitment, interim staffing, payroll outsourcing, and employee portage. Its operating legitimacy rests on three Burkinabè regulatory accreditations — APEN (n°00126A2024/CAEN) for expertise work, MFPTPS (Arrêté n°2025-018/MFPTPS/SG/DGT) for placement and temporary work, and FAFPA (n°MESFPT/SG/FAFPA-Hab 2025-CBE0095) for vocational training.

The business model is pure-play professional services with no proprietary technology platform; revenue is generated through project-based and recurring consulting engagements quoted on scope. Go-to-market is B2B direct sales targeting enterprises, industrial and mining companies, and PMEs in Burkina Faso, supplemented by referrals and a basic digital presence (website, social channels). The firm claims 300+ satisfied clients and 89 completed projects, indicating a fragmented, SME-heavy client base with no disclosed anchor customers or revenue concentration data, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
