Counterparties & onboarding

Clear information allows serious enquiries to move faster.

The documentation requested depends on the party’s role and the proposed transaction. We do not require every document from every party at first contact.

For buyers and procurement entities

Company introduction and corporate details
Clear product requirement and specification
Intended monthly or contract quantity
Destination and preferred delivery basis
Proposed payment method
Evidence of authority and capacity when progression requires it

For suppliers and trading entities

Company introduction and transaction role
Product scope and supply basis
Authority to market or contract
Commercial terms and applicable procedure
Origin and logistics information where appropriate
Supporting evidence capable of verification at the correct stage

Professional international counterparty engagement

What we avoid

Signals that may prevent progression

Refusal to identify the contracting entity at the appropriate stage

Unverifiable authority, corporate identity or banking claims
Generic offers circulated without a defined commercial mandate
Requests for advance fees unrelated to a verified service
Procedures designed primarily to exchange documents rather than execute trade
