This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Carmart Africa is an online platform founded Ikwu Onyeka for buying and selling automobiles, primarily serving the Nigerian and broader African market. The platform was launched in 2019 under the name Carmart.ng and later rebranded to Carmart.africa in 2023 as part of an effort to expand its services across the African continent. The marketplace facilitates the sale of both new and used cars and connects buyers directly with sellers, with a focus on providing transparent pricing tools and vehicle information.

History

Carmart Africa was initially launched as Carmart.ng in 2019, with the goal of offering a streamlined online service for car transactions in Nigeria. The platform quickly gained popularity among Nigerian car buyers and sellers due to its user-friendly interface and focus on local market conditions. In 2023, the company rebranded to Carmart.africa to reflect its ambitions of reaching a broader African audience. This rebranding was accompanied by an expansion in services, including the introduction of new tools aimed at improving transparency in the car market, such as price checkers and valuation tools.

Rebranding

The rebranding from Carmart.ng to Carmart.africa^[1] marked a pivotal moment in the company’s history, as it signaled a shift from a Nigeria-focused operation to a pan-African ambition. The new name reflects the company’s goal of becoming the go-to marketplace for cars across the African continent.
