"In a short business span of 8 years " means since February 2017; "documents and export clearance for United Kingdom" happens from a supposedly USA location, while the company is in fact registered in Ghana. The "company" logo is stolen from an Indian courier company. The location is stolen from a non-profit organization in USA.
