- about documents (guidelines)

To be able to proceed, we need in all cases a detailed LOI issued from the buyer or from the seller. This is not because we love paperwork. This is to save time and to work efficiently.
A professional LOI contains ALL informations which are needed to get a professional and fast response.

Immediatly it is clearly to be seen,

-who wants to buy or sell what (including specification),

-under which conditions

-in which amount(s)

-for which (target-)price

-with which procedure

-under which payment terms

-whith which payment instrument(s)

-for which destination (of which origin)

-by using which bank(s)

-for which timeframe

-on seller's or buyer's ORIGINAL letterhead

-never sanitzed










Don't .......

Don't ask for photos, we are no photo-agency and they aren't worth the sending as they proof nothing.
Don't ask for a "past performance" as it says nothing about the seller's ability to supply tomorrow.
Don't ask for pricing without a buyer's LOI......
Don't ask for a FCO without having a positive response to your buyer's LOI.
Don't believe that the sending of a LOI automatically causes the sending of a FCO or draft contract.
Don't send a mail and ask 5 min later, whether it arrived and we have worked on it.......
Don't think we are machines that do not need to sleep, eat....
Don't believe there were no weekends in western europe when offices are closed (...saturdays and sundays...)
Don't think we had no other person besides you to talk to ..... (your inquiery is important for us, but it is NOT the only we are busy with....)
Don't think that deals about several millions of USD are closed within minutes, hours or a day ......
Don't start an inquiery by telling what commission you have to get .... (no contract closed - no commission - no discussion)....
