Trading & Execution

Origination to execution through a controlled counterparty process.

A serious commodity transaction starts by qualifying the people, requirement and commercial structure before protected counterparties are introduced.

Moorgate process

Seven stages from requirement to execution.

01

Requirement Qualification

Confirm commodity or project, specification, quantity, destination, terms, commercial objective and intention to proceed.

02

Counterparty Due Diligence

Review KYC/KYB, authorised representatives, commercial credibility and preliminary financial capability before sensitive disclosure.

03

Opportunity Validation

Review the qualified requirement against the relevant supplier, producer or project opportunity and address preliminary questions.

04

Commercial Protection

Document confidentiality, roles and applicable commercial protections before protected parties are introduced.

05

Principal Introduction

Introduce qualified principals directly under the agreed framework so they can progress substantive commercial engagement.

06

Diligence & Documentation

Progress technical, legal, financial and commercial diligence, inspection/assay, title/origin, logistics, banking and definitive agreements.

07 · Execution

Moorgate remains engaged through agreed commercial coordination, documentation, shipment or transaction milestones where required.

Why the sequence matters

Protect information without blocking serious buyers.

Sensitive supplier or project information should not move through uncontrolled broker chains. Equally, serious buyers and investors need sufficient verified information to make decisions.

The objective is a staged process: qualify first, protect roles, exchange appropriate diligence, then enable direct principal engagement once both sides are comfortable.

Execution disciplines

The transaction must work operationally, not only on paper.

  • Product specification and acceptance
  • Counterparty authority and KYC/KYB
  • Inspection, assay and weight methodology
  • Payment instrument and banking acceptance
  • Logistics, customs and shipment documents
  • Claims, settlement and definitive contract terms
