How we work

Buying from a factory abroad, without the risk.

You tell us what you need. We find the factories that make it, help you choose, pay them, check the goods before they leave and clear them when they land. One agent handles your order from the first message to delivery.

What we handle for you

Finding the supplier

Tell us the product and we search for the factories that make it, then check that their factories are up to standard.

Your own brand

If you want your name on the product, we advise on private labelling and help you build a brand of your own.

Paying the supplier

We pay the factory directly on your behalf, so you are not wiring money to a stranger in another country.

Managing the order

We confirm specifications, ask for changes when something is wrong, and keep track of production for you.

Inspection

Before anything ships we check the goods, the quality and the count, so problems are caught there and not here.

Free warehousing

Your goods wait in our warehouse at no charge until the whole order is ready to ship.

Consolidation

Goods from different suppliers are packed together to use less space and cost less to ship.

Customs and paperwork

We handle clearing in Nigeria and the certificates and permits your goods need on the way.

Air or sea?

By air

Faster, and costs more per kilo. Right for small, light or urgent goods: parts, samples, electronics.

By sea

Slower, and much cheaper for heavy or bulky goods: machinery, furniture, building materials.

We decide together at the procurement meeting, once we know what you are buying and when you need it.
