What we do

Trade

We buy, import and sell on our own account.

Representation has a ceiling: a commission is a share of someone else's margin. Buying outright removes the ceiling and moves the risk to us — which is usually the moment a supplier starts taking the American market seriously.

When it fits

The supplier would rather sell a container than manage a market.
Volume is predictable enough to hold inventory against.
The product carries enough margin to survive landed cost.

How the deal works

Purchase: We buy at an agreed price and take title. The supplier is paid on shipment.
Pricing: Resale price is ours to set, against real landed cost — duty, freight, clearance, storage and the per-shipment fixed costs that punish cheap goods.
Progression: Usually a second phase after Represent, once the market has proven it absorbs the product.
