Exclusivity signed too early

Exclusive rights to a region should come with performance targets and a way out.

Reach claimed, not proven

Ask for evidence: customers, warehouses, sales teams. We check before you rely on it.

Hidden conflicts of interest

A candidate may already represent a competitor or be affiliated with one. Ownership checks show this.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where do you find partners?

In official and commercial registers, industry associations, trade fairs, public procurement records and through direct market research. Every candidate is screened before you see them.

Can you help structure a joint venture?

Yes. Our lawyer drafts and reviews joint venture and shareholder agreements and advises on the structure, including what foreign participation means for land and licences.

What if there is no suitable partner?

We tell you. An early “no fit” is cheaper than the wrong partner, and we then discuss alternatives such as your own entity or a different region.

Can you guarantee a partner will sign?

No. We find, check and bring qualified candidates to the table and support negotiations; the decision belongs to both sides.
