TRADE WORKFLOW
Four disciplined stages, one accountable agency
Every transaction we represent follows the same auditable workflow — protecting buyer, manufacturer and the agency at every step.
01
Customer Request — Letter of Intent
Buyer submits an LOI or RFQ with the compulsory commercial and technical details. KYC is mandatory to create the customer profile and issue formal quotations and PI.
- Commodity specifications
- Packing & packaging
- Certifications required
- Scheduled shipments if revolving
- Target price (if available)
- Quantities
- Shipment mode: bulk, conventional, containers or air
- Incoterm & port / airport of destination
- Payment method & instrument
02
Procurement — SPA / Sub-Sales
The Manufacturer issues the Quotation / PI to the buyer. After approval, a Sales & Purchase Agreement is drafted and signed by both parties.
- Quotation or Proforma Invoice issued to buyer
- SPA issued by Manufacturer
- Buyer confirms, stamps and approves the PI
- Both parties review, approve and sign the SPA
03
Payment — Direct to Manufacturer
Payment is always settled directly to the Manufacturer / Supplier bank account. SCA-Partner does not receive payment on behalf of the manufacturer.
- TT 30% deposit + 70% at loading
- 100% LC at sight
- Instruments adapt to commodity and sourcing country
- TT 10% deposit + 90% LC at sight
- LCs are always Transferable and Irrevocable
04
Production, Inspection & Shipment
Once the payment instrument is activated production starts. Independent inspection covers quality, quantity and loading up to container departure, with reports delivered to the buyer.
- Buyer-appointed inspection & certification company
- Loading inspection: weight, pallets, marks, container & seal numbers
- Balance payment issued per SPA at loading
- Q&Q report issued per SPA specifications
- Inspection reports submitted to the buyer
- Shipment executed per SPA Incoterms
