Services

Four ways we work with buyers

Sourcing equipment is one of them. The other three exist because the hardest part of buying from a distant manufacturer is knowing, before you pay, whether that manufacturer is what it claims to be.

Supplier & Equipment Due Diligence

On request

We verify a supplier or a piece of equipment before you commit capital — existence, track record, industrial capacity, certifications, reputation, export history, commercial terms, warranties and supply chain risk.

Level 1

Desk review

Documentary and reputational verification, carried out remotely: registration records, certifications, export history, references and open-source checks.

Level 2

On-site verification

Everything in Level 1, plus a physical factory inspection carried out by an independent third-party auditor we commission — confirmation that the supplier genuinely exists and matches what it claims.

Deliverable — one clear recommendation: proceed, proceed with conditions, or do not proceed. With the reasoning behind it.

RFQ & Supplier Benchmarking

On request

You give us your specifications. We approach several qualified suppliers — typically three to eight — and compare what actually differs between them. You receive a shortlist with the reasoning behind it.

Unit price and price breaks by volume
Minimum order quantities, per supplier
Production lead times and shipping terms
Warranty terms and what they actually cover

Procurement Management

Percentage of volume

For a project that needs support from end to end, we act as your procurement partner — from request for quotation through negotiation, inspection, logistics and delivery. Compensation is a percentage of the volume managed, agreed according to the scope of the project.

Energy Equipment Trading

Solar equipment, battery storage, inverters, off-grid and mini-grid components, cabling and electrical, generators — sourced directly from qualified manufacturers and delivered through structured, secured transactions. We hold no stock: every order starts from a confirmed requirement.

Questions buyers ask first

Straight answers, including where the honest answer is that it depends.

What are your payment terms?

Most orders run on a deposit at order confirmation — commonly between 30% and 50% depending on the size of the order and the supplier — with the balance settled before shipment. The exact split is agreed transaction by transaction and written into the contract before anything is paid.

What is your minimum order size?

There is no single minimum. It depends on the manufacturer and the product category: some accept a pallet, others work by the container. We confirm the applicable minimum for your specification before you commit to anything.

How long does a typical order take?

Lead times vary with the manufacturer, the product and the destination port. We give you a firm range once the order is confirmed and the supplier has acknowledged the production slot — not before. An estimate given too early is a promise we cannot hold.

Do you hold stock?

No. Every order is sourced against a confirmed requirement. We carry no speculative inventory, which is why we can work across categories rather than pushing whatever happens to be sitting in a warehouse.

What happens if there is a defect or a dispute?

The first line of protection is inspection before shipment and the warranty terms negotiated with the manufacturer — both agreed in writing before payment, not after a problem appears. If equipment arrives defective, we handle the claim with the supplier: the commercial relationship is ours, not yours.

Can you handle a small first order?

Yes, and it is often the sensible way to start. A smaller first order lets both sides test the process — specifications, inspection, shipping, clearance — before committing to volume. Tell us what you need.

Not sure which of these you need?

Describe the situation and we will tell you which service fits — or that none of them does.
