Our Process

From RFQ to repeat programmes.

A disciplined, documented process — the same one every serious import house follows.

1

RFQ & Shortlisting

Detailed tech packs and specifications sent to qualified manufacturers in the relevant cluster.

2

Sampling & Testing

Development samples reviewed against spec; third-party lab testing where the category requires it.

3

Production & QC

Written PO, agreed payment terms, inline checks and independent pre-shipment inspection to AQL 2.5.

4

Shipping & Repeat Orders

Export documentation, UK/EU customs and duties handled. Successful lines grow into seasonal repeat programmes.

For Manufacturers

Why Indian manufacturers work with us.

No registration or listing fees — ever

We earn on the buy side. Any "agent" asking manufacturers for onboarding fees is not running a real sourcing business.

Clear specs before any order

Written tech packs, agreed tolerances and a defined AQL — so quality expectations are settled before production, not argued after it.

Payment terms honoured on time

LC at sight or TT with an agreed advance — terms fixed in the purchase order and respected. Long-term partners depend on it.

Repeat programmes, not one-off orders

Our clients are retailers with ongoing shelf-space. A successful trial order is designed to become a seasonal programme.

Direct access to the buying team

No layers of agents between you and the buyer. Your enquiry lands with decision-makers in London and receives a reply within two business days.

UK & EU import logistics coordinated

Customs, duties and shipping documentation on the import side are coordinated by us and our clients' own compliant import arrangements — you focus on manufacturing.

On-Ground Knowledge

Sourcing is done cluster by cluster — because that is where the real capability sits.
