Four steps. Every one of them in writing.

From first enquiry to a possible order, each step is based on information and agreement — not promises.

01
Step 01

Tell us about your requirement

Share your company details and the product or opportunity. A complete requirement gets faster, more accurate answers.

  • Your role: buyer, manufacturer or trader
  • Product, category, quantity and destination
  • Drawings, standards or reference samples

What helps us most

  • Standard / grade / material
  • Size, finish and packing
  • Target price or budget, if you have one
  • Required delivery date

Step 02

We assess the opportunity

We review whether a useful sourcing conversation is possible — and tell you plainly if it isn't.

  • Check sector fit and missing specifications
  • Review compliance and trade restrictions
  • Confirm what we need before any introduction

What we check

  • Is the product within our two categories?
  • Is the specification complete enough to quote?
  • Are there destination compliance rules?
  • Is the timeline realistic?

Step 03

Connect and evaluate

We coordinate the technical, commercial and verification details you need to evaluate a supplier.

  • Supplier capability and business documents
  • Quotations, samples and quality requirements
  • Payment terms, Incoterms and lead times

What you receive

  • Requirement brief
  • Supplier information
  • Quote comparison
  • Sample and inspection plan

Step 04

Agree terms and move forward

An order proceeds only after the buyer and manufacturer agree terms in writing.

  • Responsibilities and accepted terms confirmed
  • Inspection and documentation planned
  • Production updates and dispatch coordination

Before dispatch

  • Pre-shipment inspection, if agreed
  • Commercial invoice & packing list
  • Certificate of origin & test reports
  • Booking with your forwarder
