About Stratex
We connect verified buyers and suppliers and keep the process secure, efficient, and transparent.
        We facilitate secure introductions between vetted buyers and suppliers, align terms, and steward the deal flow from interest to contract and delivery. We work with verified mandate channels and protect all parties involved.
      
        Primarily qualified buyers and verified suppliers/refineries. We may request basic KYC before making a direct introduction to our source.
      
        Email a short brief to info@stratexcommoditygroup.com with product, quantity, target Incoterms (FOB/CIF/…), destination, and timelines. We then guide you through LOI & CIS → NCNDA & IMFPA → SCO/FCO.
      
Documents & Deal Flow
Our standard sequence keeps confidentiality and commissions protected.
        You’ll typically receive a price indication early (based on market and specs). A firm price is confirmed in the seller’s SCO/FCO once the buyer’s intent is verified and documentation is in place.
      
- LOI & CIS – buyer intent, specs, company info.
 - NCNDA & IMFPA – to protect relationships and commissions before a direct source introduction.
 - SCO/FCO – seller terms, price, product specs, delivery.
 - Contract – draft SPA / purchase agreement, inspection & payment workflow.
 
        They ensure non-circumvention and fee protection for intermediaries, and give buyers/sellers clarity on the commercial chain. Our IMFPA is signed with our source to secure agreed commissions.
      
        Typically LOI, CIS, and—if requested—basic KYC or bankability proof. Exact requirements can vary by supplier and product.
      
        A Soft Corporate Offer (SCO) outlines preliminary terms. A Full Corporate Offer (FCO) confirms firm terms (price, specs, delivery) and precedes the final contract.
      
Pricing, Terms & Payments
Market-based pricing with secure payment instruments.
        Validity is stated in the SCO/FCO and depends on market conditions and allocation availability. We recommend swift compliance to lock terms.
      
        Depending on the supplier and product: LC/DLC, SBLC/BG, TT, sometimes escrow. The agreed instrument and milestones are defined in the contract.
      
        Commonly FOB and CIF, and others where available. Incoterms are specified in the SCO/FCO and final contract.
      
KYC, Security & Documentation
We protect confidentiality and commissions while keeping the process efficient.
        KYC is collected only for verification and deal processing. We do not share data outside the transaction flow and follow minimal-necessary access.
      
        Yes—independent inspectors (e.g., SGS/Bureau Veritas) can be arranged per contract at the agreed location and stage (loading/unloading).
      
        Via a signed IMFPA with our source, defining the total commission and split. This protects intermediaries and keeps accounting transparent.
      
Logistics & Timelines
Lead times depend on product, allocation, inspection, and payment instrument.
        From firm offer to contract signing can be fast if documentation is ready. Shipment timelines depend on allocation, port schedules, inspection, and the agreed payment instrument.
      
        MOQ is product- and supplier-specific. Share your target quantity and we’ll match you to a suitable allocation.
      
        Only where we hold a verified mandate/LOA. Otherwise, contracts are signed directly by buyer and seller.
