Who We Are

Somaliland Investment & Trade Company (SLITCO) is a premier investment facilitation and trade consultancy firm dedicated to unlocking the vast economic potential of the Republic of Somaliland. Since 2015, we have been at the forefront of attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and creating sustainable business opportunities across key sectors such as natural resources, logistics, renewable energy, infrastructure, and trade development.

Our story begins with our founders—North American Somalilanders and local business professionals—who share a deep commitment to seeing Somaliland thrive socially and economically. With decades of international business expertise, they understand global markets, international business standards, and international investment strategies while remaining deeply rooted in Somaliland’s economic landscape and cultural framework. This unique combination makes SLITCO the ideal bridge between global investors and local opportunities, ensuring investments are strategically placed, profitable, and beneficial for both investors and the local economy.

Beyond investment facilitation, SLITCO is the team you want on your side. With strong government relationships, local expertise, and legal professionals within our network, we help navigate the regulatory landscape, facilitate high-level engagements, and create the right connections to ensure seamless market entry and long-term success.

We are not just advisors—we are your trusted allies, problem-solvers, and the people who get things done. At SLITCO, we don’t just bring investors to Somaliland—we position the Republic of Somaliland as a thriving global investment hub. By fostering win-win partnerships, streamlining bureaucratic processes, and offering on-the-ground guidance, we ensure sustainable growth and long-term success for all parties involved. When you work with SLITCO, you’re not just making an investment—you’re gaining a team that has your back, knows the right people, and makes things happen.
