Service · Sourcing across EMEA
Sourcing is more than a list of names. We vet, visit, negotiate, and stay involved through your first shipments — in Arabic, Dutch, or English.
What we keep seeing
Anyone can send you a list of names from a directory. That is not sourcing — that is research. Real sourcing is knowing which factory actually has the capacity, which trader is hiding behind a manufacturer's website, which co-op delivers consistently when the order doubles, and which supplier will go cold the moment payment terms get tested.
We work as your principal across EMEA — Egypt, Morocco, UAE, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, and beyond — with Arabic on the ground, EU-side compliance fluency, and the standing to negotiate in language wherever the conversation needs to go.
How we help
Three to five vetted candidates per engagement, matched to your product, volume, and certification requirements. No 50-name spreadsheets.
Where engagement value justifies travel, we visit the factory, photograph what matters, and write the report that shows the red flags as well as the green.
Pricing, Incoterms, payment terms negotiated directly with the supplier in their language, with the same content carrying the same meaning across translations.
Pre-shipment inspection coordination, paperwork verification, and a principal in the room when your first PO ships.
What this looks like in practice
“Mohammed walked us through every step before we committed. The Arabic-language capability and the EU-side perspective were the difference between another stalled lead and a real corridor.”

Per engagement. Fixed-fee for sourcing-only work (shortlists, factory visits, contract structuring); retainer + success structure for full corridor engagements.
Two to four weeks for a typical first sourcing brief, depending on category complexity and certification requirements. Faster timelines often mean shallower vetting.
Sometimes. The discovery call covers whether there is a real gap to fill or whether the right answer is to support what you already have.
