A continental framework view of national registries (CIPC, CAC, BRS and others) as modular anchors for AI-readable business identity.
Africa business identity for AI is a network of national registries, not a single continental database. AI Verified’s role is selective public packaging, not government registration.
Use real national identifiers when validated. Never invent SME Wikipedia/Wikidata notability. Publish machine-readable passports that answer engines can observe.

Is there one pan-African business registry?
No. Each country maintains its own authority. The practical approach is modular national anchors plus shared publication standards.
Which African anchors are strongest today?
CIPC (South Africa), CAC (Nigeria), and BRS (Kenya) are the most commonly discussed formal anchors.
What stays constant across countries?
Need for stable identity, digital reconciliation, structured data, and selective public evidence packages.
