The ANRIM perspective
Expansion is a decision before it is a destination.
Entering a new market is rarely just a question of finding customers. It means deciding where to focus, who to trust, how to enter, what to invest, and which risks are worth taking.
ANRIM brings an international business perspective together with regional context and practical execution support—so leaders can test assumptions, make better-informed commitments, and move forward with a clearer plan.

Investment & Acquisition Advisory
Bring regional context to opportunity screening, strategic fit, counterpart engagement, and early-stage cross-border investment or acquisition discussions.
Business Transformation & AI

Executive Advisory
Provide a senior sounding board for complex regional decisions, business priorities, risk trade-offs, and the practical realities of execution.
Not sure which kind of support you need? Start with the decision in front of you. We can clarify the question before defining the engagement.
Discuss your priorities
Regional focus
Start with Egypt. Evaluate the wider region with eyes open.
Egypt can be a strategic point of entry for companies assessing the wider Middle East and North Africa. Its scale, geography, talent, infrastructure, and business environment may create opportunities—but the right path depends on the sector, counterparties, and commercial realities.
ANRIM helps clients examine the opportunity with context rather than assumptions, using Egypt as an anchor while considering relevant markets across MENA and the GCC.

How we work
A practical process. Built around the decision.
The scope depends on the question—not the other way around. Work can begin with a focused assessment or extend into partner engagement and execution support.
Clarify
Define the objective, decision to be made, constraints, timing, risk tolerance, and what success would need to look like.
Assess
Examine the market context, customer and channel assumptions, competitive conditions, potential partners, and key uncertainties.
Align
Prioritize options, identify open questions, prepare for counterpart conversations, and agree on a commercially realistic direction.
Advance
Translate the chosen direction into actions, milestones, communications, and follow-through appropriate to the engagement.
Experience across disciplines
Commercial perspective beyond a single sector.
ANRIM’s perspective has been shaped by work spanning technology, international business, media, broadcasting, and cross-border relationships. That experience helps connect strategic decisions with the operational details that often determine whether a plan is workable.
The aim is not to apply the same answer everywhere. It is to ask better questions, understand the context, and adapt the approach to the opportunity.
Technology & Digital
Technology strategy, digital operations, and evaluating practical uses of automation and AI.
Media & Broadcasting
Regional media experience, including satellite television projects for clients across the Middle East.
Trade & Distribution
Commercial routes to market, business development, and partner relationships across borders.
Investment & Growth
Opportunity assessment, strategic fit, and the context needed for informed growth decisions.
Founder-led advisory
Experience matters most when the decision is consequential.
ANRIM Advisory is led by Hani Barghouty, whose business experience began in Portland, Oregon, in 1990 and later extended into Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and regional markets. His work has crossed technology, media, business development, and international commercial activity.
From Cairo, Hani brings an international perspective and a practical understanding of how regional opportunities need to be evaluated, relationships developed, and plans carried forward. ANRIM is deliberately focused: senior attention, direct communication, and advice grounded in the realities of the decision at hand.

Why ANRIM
A different kind of advisory relationship.
Good advice should help leaders see the decision more clearly, not make the decision feel more complicated.
Judgment before activity
Start by testing whether the opportunity, timing, and route to market make sense before committing significant time or capital.
Regional context
Consider local business realities, relationships, and operating conditions alongside international expectations and objectives.
Practical follow-through
Connect strategic thinking to a clear next step, with the scope of support agreed around the client’s needs.
Common questions
A few things worth clarifying.
Every expansion decision is different. These answers explain where ANRIM focuses and how an initial conversation can help.
Ask a specific questionDoes ANRIM work only with North American companies?
No. ANRIM works with international companies and leadership teams from markets including North America, Europe, Asia, and the GCC that are assessing Egypt or wider regional opportunities.
Is the focus only on Egypt?
Egypt is the anchor of ANRIM’s regional perspective, while the scope can include relevant markets across the Middle East, North Africa, and the GCC depending on the client’s objectives.
What can an initial discussion cover?
It can clarify the business objective, the decision you need to make, what is already known, the main uncertainties, and whether a focused assessment or broader advisory engagement would be useful.
Does ANRIM guarantee introductions or business outcomes?
No advisory firm can responsibly guarantee a third party’s response or a commercial outcome. ANRIM focuses on preparation, informed assessment, relationship development, and practical support within an agreed scope.
Start the conversation
Have an Egypt or MENA decision to work through?
Share where you are in the process and what you are trying to decide. The first step is a direct discussion about the opportunity, the open questions, and the support that may be useful.
