Operating Model
Built for Physical Trade
A principal-and-agent model: Singapore-based commercial execution, backed by established origin-side procurement.
Overview
A Principal-and-Agent Structure.
Our Singapore entity contracts as principal on every purchase and sale — holding title, price risk and trade-finance relationships. An affiliated UAE free-zone entity handles procurement, supplier liaison and origin-side supervision, under a formal agency agreement with defined scope and remuneration.
