Commercial Agency
When undertaking a transaction such as a merger or acquisition of a business, the buying or selling of products and services, complete peace of mind is highly coveted, especially when transacting cross-border. This is where a commercial agent can help.
What are commercial agency services and how are they used?
Our commercial agency service introduces an independent third party – the commercial agent (the “Agent”) – to the transaction. The Agent holds the asset(s) or funds and distributes them in accordance with the terms stipulated in the signed agreement.
Our commercial agency agreements between the parties undertaking a transaction helps to mitigate the financial risks and concerns as the money, securities, funds, and other assets can be held independently of the parties engaged in the transaction. The funds are released in order to complete the transaction intended by the parties.

- Procurement of high-value assets, such as aircraft’s or vessels
- Valuable auctions items – online or physical
