Procurement agency
From finding and evaluating suppliers to coordinating quotations, commercial terms and negotiations. The scope varies according to the product and market.
Possible arrangement: project fee, success commission or a combination.
No two international trading assignments are the same. We therefore agree a fee structure suited to the scope of work. You know what we do, how our fees are calculated and when payment is due before we start.
Depending on the assignment, we may agree a project fee, a success-based commission, a recurring retainer or a combination. We do not publish one fixed percentage that overlooks differences in workload and complexity.

Identifying prospective buyers, making introductions and supporting sales negotiations. The goods, transaction value and level of effort help determine the approach.

Possible arrangement: coordination or project fee, alongside relevant third-party costs.
For businesses that require regular support with sourcing, sales or cross-border trade, a longer-term arrangement with defined terms may be suitable.
Possible arrangement: recurring retainer, potentially with fees per transaction.
You do not need to commit to an assignment before understanding how the fees work. We discuss the scope of services, our commercial role and the main terms in advance.
This lets you evaluate whether our involvement is appropriate for the transaction.

A small sourcing project and the sale of an entire fleet require different levels of work. We evaluate transaction value, complexity, markets and expected scope before proposing an appropriate fee structure.
That depends on the assignment. A success commission may be suitable, while extensive supplier research or preparatory work can require a project or initial fee. These terms are agreed in advance.
