EXPORTER & MARKET ACCESS SERVICES

Connecting Products with Buyers Worldwide

A good product deserves the right market.

BEYOND LEAD GENERATION

Finding company names, email addresses and buyer databases has become easy.

Creating a meaningful commercial relationship is different.

WOTC does not position itself merely as a provider of buyer lists or sales leads.

Our objective is to understand the product, its positioning, commercial proposition and target market, and then explore where there may be a genuine fit with potential buyers or business partners.

A specialist food producer may be looking for a premium hotel group or gourmet distributor.

A beverage producer may require the right importer, distributor or retail network.

A building materials manufacturer may be seeking distributors, developers or project buyers in another country.

An engineering manufacturer may need access to industrial buyers in international markets.

A distinctive consumer brand may be looking for an established distributor capable of developing the market.

Different products. Different markets. The same requirement: the right connection.

WORLDWIDE MARKET ACCESS

WOTC's intermediary activities are not restricted to any single geographical market.

Depending upon the product, regulatory requirements and commercial potential, we may explore opportunities across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa, North America, Oceania and other international markets.

Our role is to consider where the product may have commercial relevance and identify potential counterparties capable of taking the discussion forward.

WHO CAN APPROACH WOTC?

We consider selected opportunities from:

• Manufacturers
• Producers
• Exporters
• Brand owners
• Agricultural and food producers
• Seafood and frozen food processors
• Beverage producers
• Engineering and industrial manufacturers
• Building material manufacturers
• Healthcare product suppliers
• Commodity suppliers
• Private-label manufacturers
• Businesses with distinctive or specialised products

We particularly value opportunities where the supplier possesses a genuine product, manufacturing capability, price advantage, quality advantage, speciality, certification, geographical advantage or other meaningful commercial differentiation.

INFORMATION REQUIRED FROM SUPPLIERS

To evaluate an international market opportunity, suppliers should preferably provide:

• Company profile
• Website and contact details
• Product catalogue
• Detailed product specifications
• Manufacturing or supply capacity
• Minimum order quantity
• Indicative export pricing
• Available packaging options
• Private-label capabilities, where applicable
• Relevant certifications and approvals
• Existing export markets, if any
• Target countries or markets
• Photographs, brochures or presentations
• Commercial terms
• Any distinctive competitive advantage of the product

Providing complete and accurate information allows WOTC to understand the opportunity before approaching potential buyers.

SELECTIVE REPRESENTATION

We Prefer Products We Can Represent With Confidence.

WOTC does not seek to indiscriminately circulate every product offered to us.

Before accepting an exporter or supplier mandate, we may consider the product, pricing, market suitability, supplier capability, available documentation and potential international demand.

Where we believe our relationships, international reach or intermediary role can add meaningful value, we may accept the opportunity for representation or introduction.

This selective approach helps protect the credibility of WOTC and the businesses we introduce.

OUR COMMERCIAL MODEL

Our Interests Are Aligned With Successful Business.

For selected exporter representation, buyer introduction and international market access assignments, WOTC generally works on an agreed finder's fee or success commission basis, typically ranging from 5% to 10% of the transaction value, depending upon the product, market, transaction value, complexity and scope of our involvement.

For substantial, recurring or high-volume transactions, commercial terms may be negotiated separately.

Where appropriate, suppliers may be required to enter into Commission, Finder's Fee, Confidentiality, Non-Circumvention or Intermediary Agreements before WOTC discloses prospective buyers or commercially sensitive relationships.

PROTECTION OF INTRODUCTIONS

Relationships take years to build.

Where WOTC identifies or introduces a buyer, distributor, importer or other commercial counterparty, the introduction remains subject to the agreed commercial arrangement between WOTC and the supplier.

Parties are expected to respect WOTC's role in originating and facilitating the relationship and not directly or indirectly circumvent an introduction.

Clear commercial terms at the outset allow all parties to focus on what matters most:

Building successful business.

HAVE A PRODUCT WITH INTERNATIONAL POTENTIAL?

Tell us what makes it different.

If you manufacture, produce, export or own a product or brand with genuine international potential, WOTC would be interested in understanding the opportunity.

We consider selected mandates where we believe the product, market and commercial proposition justify an international introduction.
