Trade & Commercial Brokerage

No. We commit to a structured, diligent search and to presenting only opportunities that pass our screening, but whether a transaction proceeds depends on the parties, market conditions and commercial terms. Our fee structure and success criteria are agreed in writing before work begins, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

We apply proportionate know-your-customer checks covering corporate identity, ownership and authorised signatories, and we screen parties against applicable sanctions lists. Depending on the transaction, we may also request trade references, product certifications or third-party inspection. Where information cannot be verified to a reasonable standard, we will not progress the introduction.

Some goods require import or export permits, product registrations or approvals from UAE authorities or authorities in the origin or destination country. We identify these requirements early and coordinate with the relevant parties, but responsibility for obtaining permits rests with the importer or exporter of record. We do not handle goods or transactions that are prohibited or subject to sanctions.

We can represent suppliers and products commercially under a trading agency arrangement tailored to your objectives. Commercial agency in the UAE is subject to the applicable commercial agency law and, where relevant, registration requirements, which can affect exclusivity and termination rights. We recommend that both parties take independent legal advice before entering a formal agency agreement.

Fees depend on the mandate and may include a retainer, a fixed engagement fee, a success-based commission, or a combination. We agree the basis, the trigger for payment and any exclusivity in writing at the outset. We disclose our remuneration to our client and, where we receive payment from more than one party, we say so.
