Find who to trade with

Search 80,000+ businesses across Africa by product, sector and location.

Trust who you trade with

Business Trust Levels show what has been checked: the company, its directors and its compliance.

Shoprite Checkers, Pick n Pay, Cashbuild and the other buyers on the network are one connection away.

Automate how you trade

Orders, invoices and payments move between your systems without being retyped.

More than a directory

Anyone can list a company. The M2North network shows you what has actually been checked, and who has actually traded.

80,000+

What "trusted" actually means here

A Business Trust Level reflects the checks a business has passed, not what it has paid. Businesses pay for checks; they earn their trust level.

See what each level checks

Core

Essential business profile and document checks passed.

Vetted

Company, director and core compliance checks passed.

Trusted

Additional checks passed, supported by evidence of trading on the network.

Elite

Enhanced due diligence and manual review completed.

Why buyers search here instead of Google

A search engine tells you a company has a website. It does not tell you whether you should trade with them.

Checked, Not Claimed

Registration and director data is verified against source registries rather than taken from a company profile PDF.

Compliance You Can See

Tax, B-BBEE and sanctions status is visible up front, so a supplier is not disqualified after you have already engaged them.

Evidence of Trading

The Trusted level requires real transactions on the network, so you can tell operating businesses from dormant listings.

Skip the Onboarding Pack

Suppliers already checked on the network arrive with those checks done, which shortens onboarding.
