How we work

Whether you buy from us or invest alongside us, everything is agreed in writing and followed through by our own team.

The four steps

Pick how you would take part to see what each step means for you.

You buy from us

Understand the need

We start with what you need: the goods or the service, the quantity, the quality and the timing. For a telecom route that means the destinations and the volumes; for a cargo, the product and its specification.

Agree in writing

Price, specification, delivery and payment terms are set out in writing before anything is ordered or shipped.

Operate

Our team runs the order: the routing and capacity, the shipments and documents, the suppliers and the billing. If something changes, we deal with it and tell you.

Report

We stay with the order until it has arrived and been accepted, and we are available to go through any of it with you.

You invest with us

Assess

The same checks on the activity, its counterparties, its costs and its paperwork, with our own money at stake as well as yours.

Agree in writing

Both stakes, how revenue and costs are shared and how either side can leave. Nothing is funded until both sides have signed.

Operate

Our own team runs the activity day to day, often with our own capital in it next to yours, so our interests sit on the same side of the table.

Report

Regular statements set out activity, revenue, costs and your share, each on its own line.

Ways to work with us

Buy from us

Telecom capacity, IT services, foodstuffs, oil products or other goods, sourced and delivered on written terms.

Supply to us

If you produce or supply goods in one of our fields, we buy on agreed terms and pay as agreed.

Invest with us

You provide capital for a defined activity: a route, a consignment or a cargo. We run it, and revenue is shared on terms agreed in advance.

Invest beside us

For some arrangements we put our own capital in next to yours, so our interests sit on the same side of the table.
