Do you need a sourcing agent?
Questions to help you decide what to handle yourself and where outside support may be useful.
Read guideIs sending an enquiry a commitment?
No. A submitted form is an enquiry only. We discuss fit, availability, deliverables and fees with you before any work starts.
Can you guarantee a supplier or product is suitable?
No. A listing or introduction is not a guarantee of quality, compliance or suitability. You should review samples, documentation and terms before placing an order.
What should I put in my first brief?
Start with the product or reference, your intended use and the kind of help you need. If known, add destination, quantity and must-have specifications.
Are the categories confirmed coverage?
No. They are starting points for an enquiry, not a promise that a category or specific product is available. We confirm fit project by project.
Start with the essentials

A few clear details are enough for a first conversation.
