Your situation The mandate Typical duration

The four mandates

Buying mandate

You appoint us to source a product or raw material abroad. We act in your name: the supplier invoice stays in your name, we never take ownership of the goods

What you receive

  • Three shortlisted suppliers, checked legally and on real production capacity
  • A costed comparison: price, Incoterm, lead time, payment terms
  • Negotiation run through to the contract, which you sign
  • Follow-up to delivery, pre-shipment inspection included

What we do not do

  • We do not buy to resell: the supplier invoice is issued in your name
  • We do not replace your freight forwarder or customs broker — we work alongside them

Mandate in detail

Selling mandate

You authorise us to market your products abroad, in your name and on your terms. You set the floor price and the conditions; we search, qualify and negotiate

What you receive

  • A list of qualified buyers on the target market, with purchasing capacity verified
  • Prospecting and first contact handled in their language
  • Negotiation through to the order, within the limits you set
  • Follow-up on transactions and payments

What we do not do

  • We do not buy your output to resell it: you invoice the buyer directly
  • We do not guarantee a sales volume: the mandate is a best-efforts undertaking

Mandate in detail

Representation mandate

We represent your company on a foreign market: prospecting, meetings, negotiation, follow-up. The answer when you want to test or grow a region without setting up there

What you receive

  • An identified presence on the target market, under your name
  • Prospecting and qualification of local counterparts
  • Negotiation of opportunities, within the mandate’s scope
  • Regular reporting on the market and the contacts engaged

What we do not do

  • We do not sign commitments in your name without your prior written approval
  • We do not set up a subsidiary or permanent establishment for you: that is a matter for your legal and tax advisers

Mandate in detail

Commercial agency

A lasting relationship, framed by a commercial agency contract: we develop and manage your customer base in a defined territory, over time

What you receive

  • Continuous prospecting in the assigned territory
  • Management and follow-up of customer relationships
  • Contract negotiation within the agreed limits
  • Regular commercial reporting

What we do not do

  • We do not handle technical after-sales service for your products
  • We do not carry your customers’ credit risk, unless a del credere clause is negotiated separately

Mandate in detail

Fees

How we are paid

We would rather state it before the first meeting than at the end

  • Feasibility study — free, no obligation
  • Buying and selling mandates — commission on transaction value, depending on volume and complexity
  • Commercial agency — commission on concluded business, set in the contract
