Counterparty
Corporate existence, beneficial ownership, VAT/tax status, bank-account consistency, sanctions and adverse information.
Quality & compliance
Risk-based diligence from counterparty onboarding to shipment close-out.
Our control framework is designed for a growing trading business and will mature with transaction volume, licensing and principal-trading capability.
Material & origin
Legal ownership, source, exportability, grade evidence, processing method, contamination and restricted-material checks.
Transaction
Contracting capacity, Incoterms, title transfer, payment triggers, inspection scope, documents and claims process.
Inspection principles
Independent inspection may be required depending on grade, origin, supplier history, transaction structure and buyer requirement. The scope can include visual grade verification, weighing, sampling, radiation screening, container condition, loading supervision and seal records. The appointed party and cost allocation are agreed in the contract; no inspection firm is represented as our partner unless formally appointed for a transaction.
Higher-risk sourcing markets
We may evaluate opportunities outside our core UK and European sourcing markets only where local verification, legal exportability, traceability, site access and enhanced due diligence are satisfactory. Country labels alone do not determine acceptance; evidence and transaction controls do.
No implied endorsement
References to industry standards, inspection practices, banks, ports or classification systems describe potential transaction methods only and do not imply membership, accreditation, partnership or endorsement.
