How We Work

A clear five-step process from brief to delivery, with our fee agreed in writing before any order.

How we work

A clear process from brief to delivery

The same clear process applies whether we're representing a supplier or sourcing for a buyer — with our commission or fee agreed before any order is placed.

01

Understand the requirement

Product category, specification, composition, quantity, target price, timescale and any compliance or quality requirements.

02

Match supplier and buyer

For a buyer, we identify suitable mills and factories. For a supplier, we identify suitable buyers — and disclose our role as agent to both sides.

03

Agree how we're paid

We confirm in writing whether we are paid a commission (a % of order value) or an agreed fee, and which party pays it. No hidden charges.

04

Coordinate samples, pricing & terms

We arrange samples, gather and compare quotes, and support negotiation of price, lead time and terms.

05

Support the order to delivery

Once confirmed, we coordinate specifications, approvals and production or delivery updates between supplier and buyer until the order is complete.

Our terms, in plain language

No ownership, no hidden margins

  • We act as a disclosed agent.
  • The sale contract is between supplier and buyer— not with us.
  • We are paid a commission or fee, agreed in advance.
  • We do not take ownership of goods,hold stock on our own account, or add hidden margins.
