How we engage

A structured, verifiable procedure

Every engagement follows the same disciplined path. Each stage produces documentation both sides can verify — protecting principals and removing surprises from complex cross-border transactions.

This is our standard engagement-led workflow. Exact documents and terms are confirmed per engagement and per commodity. Engagements proceed on a direct-principal basis only — intermediaries and unsolicited brokerage approaches are not entertained.

Initial discussion & mutual qualification

You share your engagement, asset or requirement — product, volume, delivery basis and objective. We qualify fit and confirm that engagement can proceed on a direct-principal basis.

Non-Disclosure Agreement

An NDA is executed to protect both sides before any sensitive information is exchanged, establishing confidentiality and non-circumvention.

KYC, AML & engagement verification

Both parties exchange corporate documents, beneficial ownership and authority. We run KYC/AML and sanctions screening, and verify engagements and authority to act — in both directions.

Controlled information disclosure

Technical, commercial and licence documentation is released through a controlled data room, staged to counterparty qualification and confidentiality protocols.

Commercial alignment & term sheet

Specification, price formula, delivery terms (Incoterms), payment instrument and timeline are aligned openly until both principals agree a term sheet or soft offer.

Contract execution & payment security

A binding sale & purchase agreement is signed and payment is secured through the agreed instrument — documentary or standby LC, escrow or bank guarantee from a reputable bank.

Independent inspection & delivery

Quantity and quality are certified by an internationally recognised inspector (e.g. SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas). Product is delivered on the agreed basis with the full document set.

Settlement & post-trade

Payment is released against compliant documents. We confirm settlement, close out the transaction and remain available for post-delivery matters and repeat engagements.
