Our Process

Buyer issues Letter of Intent (LOI)

Providing a Letter of Intention (LOI) is the first step in starting a procurement process from the buyer to the seller. 

Buyer Issues Irrevocable Corporate Purchase Order (ICPO) and Proof of Funds (BCL or RWA or BCAI)

Providing an Irrevocable Corporate Purchase Order (ICPO) ensures the seller that the buyer is ready to move forward with purchasing the intended commodity.

Seller Issues Full Corporate Offer (FCO) and/or Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA)

When the seller verifies the buyer’s proof of fund and approves the ICPO, the seller issues the Full Corporate Offer (FCO) and/or Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) for Buyer to review for acceptance or changes. In the contract, the buyer will find details about the commodity’s the plant manufacturing/seller information.

Buyer and Seller Sign the Final Contracts

Once the buyer and seller agree on the terms of the FCO and the SPA they are ready to sign the contacts. Both the seller and the buyer receive a fully executed copy of the contracts.

Seller Sends the Buyer a Performance Bond (PB) Invoice

A Performance Bond (PB) is provided by the seller’s bank guaranteeing the fulfillment of the commodity within the contract. The PB acts as a form of insurance to the buyer that his purchase will be fulfilled or else the buyer will be given the performance bond. The performance bond is typically amounted at 2% of the total value of the contract which is given to the buyer if the seller fails to deliver the commodity. 

Buyer Sends a Draft Documentary Letter of Credit (DLC) or Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC or SLOC)

Once the seller approves the draft DLC or SBLC, the buyer’s bank sends an operative, non-transferable, irrevocable and rotating DLC or SBLC for the monthly freight value and maturity for a longer-term contract.

Buyer's Bank Sends Operative, Non-transferable, Irrevocable, and Rotating DLC or SBLC

Once the seller approves the draft DLC or SBLC, the buyer’s bank sends an operative, non-transferable, irrevocable and rotating DLC or SBLC for the monthly freight value and maturity for a longer-term contract.

Seller's Bank will Confirm the Payment Instrument and the Seller will Start the Shipping Process

The seller’s bank will confirm the payment instrument and start the shipping process. The seller’s bank presents the Proof of the product (POP) including SGS certification and all certifications, SIF numbers, to export to USA, China, Europe or the destination country.

Seller to Buyer Shipping Logistics Starts

Shipping starts as per the contract and the seller and the buyer enter this cycle and must proceed with the execution of a mutually agreed schedule per agreed on the contract.

Seller Ships Commodities and Buyer Completes Payment

100% of the payment is sent to the seller’s bank MT103 once the completion of port inspection, shipping confirmation, and shipping documents is sent to the buyer.
