Buyers, suppliers and businesses organising cross-border commodity transactions.
What the work includes
- Sugar, grains, vegetable oils, coffee and cocoa
- Energy, fuels, gold and industrial metals
- Quality, quantity, delivery terms, logistics, documents and payment terms
Typical advisory outputs
What the work produces
A commercial brief, a transaction document checklist and a schedule of counterparties’ actions.
The mandate confirms which outputs are required, who is responsible and the agreed timetable.
What to bring to the first discussion
Product specification, quantity, origin or destination, delivery window and proposed terms.
Start with a concise overview. We then identify the information and specialist input needed for the next stage.
How the engagement is defined
Scope, responsibilities, fees and next steps are agreed before work begins. Thaddeus undertakes its advisory and coordination duties; appointed providers deliver their specialist services under their own agreements.
