For Australian producers
An export channel you do not have to build.
We have no producer under a signed agreement and have not completed a shipment. Several conversations are underway. Nothing on this page describes an existing arrangement.
What we actually are
A disclosed sales agent. Not a distributor, not a wholesaler, not a trading house and not a broker who buys from you and resells at a margin you never see. You remain the seller and the exporter of record. The buyer contracts with you, pays you, and knows exactly what we are, because we tell them.
The practical difference is where the money and the control sit. A distributor buys your product, sets its own price and owns the customer relationship, which means your brand and your margin are both out of your hands. An agent introduces a buyer to you and is paid a disclosed commission for having done so. You keep the price, the terms, the relationship and the ability to walk away.
The terms, in five lines
You set the prices
You remain the seller and set every price and term. We introduce buyers. We never take control of your product or your margins.
Paid only on shipped-and-paid
Our commission is earned only when an order actually ships and you've been paid. No result, no cost.
Non-exclusive
Work with us alongside your existing channels. Nothing about our arrangement locks you in or shuts other doors.
Nothing up front
No retainers, no listing fees, no setup cost. We invest our own time in opening the channel.
No margin added
We're paid a disclosed commission, not a markup on your goods. Buyers pay your price, not a hidden premium.
The full version, including what the commission is taken out of, what happens if a buyer stops paying, and how the arrangement ends, is set out on our commission and terms in full.

What you are taking on
It would be easy to write this page as though working with an agent is free. It is not free, it is just not paid in cash. What it costs you is time and attention at the points where only you can act.
- Samples. You send them, you pay the courier, and you accept that most sample sets do not become orders. That is the cost of a real market test.
- Documentation. Specification sheets, nutrition and allergen data, food safety records, certificates of origin and health certificates. We can tell you what will be asked for and when, but every one of them is yours to hold and produce.
- Speed. An importer comparing two suppliers takes the one who answered. A three week reply loses orders that a same week reply would have won, and no agent can fix that on your behalf.
- A small first order. Almost every first order is smaller than it is worth filling on paper. It is the price of the second one.
What we look for
We are not able to make a producer export ready, so we are looking for producers who are already close. Consistent product to a defined specification. Capacity to fill a repeat order without letting existing customers down. A food safety program you can describe. An ex works price you set yourself and can hold for a stated period. And a straight answer when a buyer asks a hard question, because an evasive answer reads as a hidden problem and kills the enquiry.
The categories we work in, and the specific export requirements attached to each, are set out under premium Australian food categories.
Why work with a new agency at all
The honest case is this. We have no track record, so you should not weigh us on one. What you can weigh is the structure: you carry no cash risk, you give up no control, you keep every channel you already have, and if nothing sells you pay nothing. The worst realistic outcome is that you spent some time and posted some samples. That is a genuinely low downside, and it is the only reason a producer should consider a business this new.
Everything we do not have is listed, in full, in the trust centre. The buyer's side of the same model, so you can see what we say to them, is on what we offer an importer, and the mechanics are on the steps from introduction to reorder.
By application
Australian producers
If you make something in Australia worth selling overseas, you can apply to be represented rather than ringing anybody. You set your own price, you stay the seller, and we are paid only after an order ships and you have been paid.
- Read by Andrew personally, answered either way, usually within a working day.
- No retainer and no listing fee. Nothing to pay in a month where nothing ships.
- We will not tell you a buyer is waiting, because none is committed yet.
