Three steps, no theatre
Most platforms start by asking you to search. Afora starts by asking you to describe.
Good providers are already busy. We route the signal — you describe the work, we put it in front of experts who've done it before.
- 01
Start with your real problem
Tell us what's broken in plain English. Afora's AI rewrites it into a brief that providers can quote with confidence — without you having to learn consultant-speak.
- 02
See real people, real prices
Get matched proposals from a curated shortlist within 48 hours. Every provider shows their past outcomes, fee range, and milestone structure upfront. No discovery calls until you're ready. If no strong match surfaces within 48 hours, an ESP advisor contacts you within one business day with options — you're never left waiting in silence.
- 03
Pay only when the work lands
Funds sit in escrow. You release each milestone when the deliverable is accepted. ESP reviews every closed engagement so the next buyer benefits.
The current network
Five experts. Working today across Kenya, Nigeria and Rwanda.

What the ESP badges mean
Every provider wears one of three badges. They're earned, not bought.
Vetted into the ESP network — identity, credentials and references checked before they can quote.
Granted when an application is approved.
KYC documents checked by ESP: certificate of incorporation, business permit and bank confirmation.
Earned by completing document verification.
ESP has put this provider on its own engagements and stands behind the delivered work.
Earned through engagements delivered for or alongside ESP.
What makes Afora different
Not a directory. Not a job board.
A delivery platform.
Every provider has been vetted
ESP has reviewed their deliverables and verified the outcomes — and on live engagements ESP reviews each milestone deliverable before any funds are released. You're not betting on a profile — you're hiring on a track record.
Funds sit in escrow
Afora releases each payment only after the SME accepts the deliverable. No upfront retainers, no ghosted invoices, no disputes about scope.
You know what it costs
Fee range, milestone splits and total exposure are visible on the provider profile before you commit. Afora's platform fee is built into the quoted rate — one number, no add-ons, no surprise invoices.
Outcomes stay on file
Every closed engagement — proposals, deliverables, feedback — is logged on Afora. The next SME benefits from what the last one learned.
