Transaction Desk
We work with flexible engagement models tailored to your trading needs. For recurring flows of commodities between Asia and Africa, we typically operate on long‑term mandate or retained partnership structures, acting as your dedicated sourcing and off‑take desk. For one‑off shipments or trial cargoes, we offer project‑based engagements with clearly defined scopes, timelines, and risk allocations. In every model, responsibilities for logistics, quality control, documentation, and financing support are agreed upfront so both sides have full clarity before a deal is initiated.

Growth Partner
Our fees are transparent and performance‑linked. For most transactions, we charge either a small per‑metric‑ton commission or a margin that is built into the final commodity price, disclosed in advance and fixed once contracts are signed. Larger strategic partnerships may use a blended model combining a modest retainer to secure capacity with reduced per‑ton trading fees. We do not add hidden surcharges—any third‑party costs such as inspection, storage, or freight are passed through at cost with supporting documentation.

✓ Dedicated broker
✓ Multi-port routing

Strategic Alliance
Typical deal frameworks follow internationally recognised commodity‑trading standards and are adapted to the regulatory requirements of each jurisdiction. Contracts specify product specifications, Incoterms, shipment schedules, and payment security, often using instruments such as letters of credit, bank guarantees, or structured pre‑payment facilities. Risk is allocated based on the agreed delivery term—for example, under FOB the buyer arranges ocean freight, while under CIF or CFR we coordinate it. Before we move to contract, we use term sheets and indicative pricing scenarios to help you assess viability and ensure that commercial, legal, and logistical expectations are fully aligned.
