01
Counterparty qualification
Counterparty verification, international sanctions screening, and beneficial-ownership checks on every party — buyer and producer alike — before any commercial discussion.
Trade structure
Verify the parties. Verify the product. Then structure the trade.
GMC begins with counterparty identity, authority, mandate, product, origin, logistics, sanctions, and payment evidence. Contractual role and settlement structure are determined transaction by transaction with the relevant professional and financial counterparties.
The payment route follows the verified transaction.
Letters of credit, transferable credits, back-to-back credits, documentary collections, and other payment structures have different legal, credit, document, and operational requirements. No structure is selected from a website template.
The decision sequence is:
- The buyer states its proposed payment instrument, issuing bank, timing, and document conditions together with its purchase requirement.
- The seller states the payment conditions it can accept and identifies the legal payee.
- The parties reconcile the commercial contracts, document list, inspection terms, shipment conditions, and payment triggers.
- The relevant banks and professional advisers complete their own KYC, sanctions, credit, legal, and instrument review.
- Only the written contracts and approved bank instrument define payment, title, document, and performance obligations.
GMC currently makes no claim of a standing bank facility, trade-finance approval, principal-trader capacity, or ability to accept or issue a payment instrument.
From counterparty qualification to execution readiness.
The sequence below is a target control framework. A transaction advances only when each evidence gate is satisfied; timing and final structure depend on the specific parties and documents.
02
Source authority
The proposed supplier must show corporate identity, authority, allocation or title, origin, and the ability to meet the required specification.
03
Commercial reconciliation
Quantity, specification, delivery window, destination, Incoterm, inspection, documents, and payment requirements are reconciled between the proposed parties.
04
Risk and compliance review
Sanctions, jurisdiction, beneficial ownership, origin, logistics, title, document, and fraud risks are reviewed before contract drafting.
05
Structure approval
The parties, advisers, and financial institutions determine whether the proposed contracts and payment instrument are acceptable. No bank relationship or facility is presumed.
06
Independent inspection
The contracts identify the inspection company, scope, acceptance criteria, and documentary consequences of a discrepancy.
07
Controlled execution
Shipment, title, documents, and payment proceed only under the final approved contracts and payment instrument. The actual transaction record governs.
Three things we never compromise on.
Document-chain consistency
The legal seller, product evidence, inspection record, transport documents, commercial invoice, and payment conditions must describe the same transaction. GMC does not claim that title will pass through GMC unless a final approved contract expressly creates that role.
Counterparty due diligence
Each proposed party must provide enough information to verify its legal identity, beneficial ownership, authority, role, sanctions exposure, and performance capacity. Any institution involved applies its own independent standard.
Quality verification at origin
Pre-shipment inspection by an independent third party can be made a documentary requirement in the final contracts and payment instrument. The inspection company, scope, and acceptance criteria must be agreed in writing.
What this process does not imply.
- No automatic acceptance. Receiving an inquiry, LOI, mandate, offer, or specification does not mean GMC has accepted the party or transaction.
- No standing financing claim. No bank, credit facility, payment instrument, or trade-finance structure is represented as available until the relevant institution approves it in writing.
- No guaranteed confidentiality structure. Confidential information is handled under the final agreements, applicable law, compliance requirements, and the legitimate information needs of the parties and institutions involved.
- No guaranteed execution. A transaction remains a lead until identity, authority, source, specifications, logistics, contracts, and payment terms are verified and approved.
