About Deji
I encounter more African SMEs daily than I imagined, and my goal is to inspire more successful SMEs in Africa through my writings, thoughts, shared experiences, and knowledge. Why do many companies struggle to grow? Why do they have a very short lifespan? Why are they not investible? Believe it or not, there is a lot of money looking for worthy investments, but unfortunately, such companies are in short supply.
My daily interaction with these businesses suggests this should not be the case.
They require only a few tweaks to prepare them for growth and create significant economic profits for the major stakeholders, especially the founders. I put some of those encounters in my articles. Click here to learn more. I wrote Scaling for Success as the first of several interventions to support the growth of African SMEs. I’d like you to come with me on this journey.

Recommendations/Reviews
I found "Scaling for Success" by Deji Adebusoye to be an insightful and practical guide for African entrepreneurs. His brilliant strategic mind shines through as he offers valuable advice on business growth and management, drawing from his extensive experience working with SMEs across Africa.
I was impressed by Deji’s intelligent applications of financial management, team building, and performance evaluation. His personal anecdotes and case studies (especially that of the impressive company L&Z), including my subtle mention in the preface along with other people Deji met along the way in his career journey, added a relatable touch to the book's lessons.
Deji’s passion for empowering African SMEs is no surprise to me. I’ve known that ever since I knew him. But this passion is evident throughout, making this book a valuable resource for those seeking to scale their businesses successfully.

Scaling For Success: Empowering African SMEs” by Deji Adebusoye is not just a book; it is an essential guide for small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owners navigating the complexities of business growth in turbulent operating environments. In a very succinct way, Deji articulated and masterfully addresses the unique challenges faced by African SMEs, offering practical insights and strategies that empower African entrepreneurs to make informed decisions.
The success strategies and guides offered in the book would be of significant importance to all SME leaders, particularly during critical points of inflexion, where decisions and choices could determine the trajectory of a business. In such pivotal moments, the absence of sound and informed decision-making can lead to a downward spiral and eventual business failure, making the guidance offered in the book invaluable.
Whether you are a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting your entrepreneurial journey, “Scaling For Success” is a must-read. It equips you with the tools and knowledge to thrive in an ever-evolving market landscape. I highly recommend this book to all SME owners in Africa who seek to enhance their decision-making processes and achieve sustainable growth and profitability.
