What We Do

Trade facilitation
done properly

We connect verified buyers and sellers in physical commodity markets. Every counterparty is vetted. Every transaction is structured. Every step is documented.

01

Counterparty Verification

We screen and validate both sides of every transaction — financial capability, legal standing, product access, and principal status — before any introduction is made.

02

Deal Structuring

ICC-compliant procedures. Standardized documentation — LOI, ICPO, FCO, POP, BCL. Proper payment terms. We structure transactions the way serious markets demand.

03

Market Education

Through the GDK Commodity Trading Professional Series, we raise the standard of knowledge across the intermediary market — reducing failed deals industry-wide.

Living and working across Europe, South America, and North America has shaped how GDK communicates with counterparties. Language is not a barrier here — it's an asset.

Effective communication with stakeholders from different backgrounds fosters trust and facilitates smoother negotiations — critical in transactions where a single misunderstanding can collapse a deal.
