Yes. Bourgeon Ventures works directly with buyers, sellers, and verified mandates, aiming to streamline transactions by eliminating unnecessary intermediaries. We provide bespoke support tailored to each party’s position, whether sourcing, selling, or structuring supply agreements.

We act as a transaction partner and strategic advisor, guiding buyers and sellers through secure, efficient, and compliant deal processes. We do not operate as brokers but focus on high-integrity, performance-based engagements with aligned parties.

Yes. Bourgeon Ventures welcomes direct sellers and verifiable mandates who can present clear documentation such as an FCO (Full Corporate Offer), product specifications, origin certificates, and proof of product (POP). We prioritise credible sellers with clean, ready-to-transact procedures.

To expedite evaluation, we request sellers to provide:

- Product type and specification (e.g., Au, sugar, crude oil, copper, etc.)

- Quantity available and delivery terms (e.g., FOB, CIF)

- Country of origin and logistics capacity

- Target price and payment terms

- Valid documentation (FCO, POP, SGS, License, or SKR if applicable)

- Mandate chain declaration or proof of title

No. We work best with direct sellers, refinery/allocation holders, or official mandates. Intermediaries may be accepted only if transparent and backed by a notarised mandate or allocation contract.

We connect sellers with vetted buyers across institutional, corporate and sovereign procurement channels. We assist with deal structuring, NDA/NCA protocols, buyer readiness checks, and contract negotiation to ensure professional, fraud-free transactions.

Buyers may submit their LOI (Letter of Intent), ICPO, or detailed procurement brief to info@bourgeonventures.com. To fast-track matching, please include:

- Product type and specification

- Required quantity and timeline

- Destination port or location

- Target price range or pricing benchmark (e.g., discount to LBMA/Platts)

- Proof of funds (POF) or BCL if available

- Transaction procedure preference

Yes. We regularly support institutional, sovereign, and high-volume buyers in sourcing metals, energy products, and agricultural commodities. We work under strict compliance frameworks and protect the integrity of the transaction.

Buyers should be prepared to submit:

- Signed LOI or ICPO with full details

- CIS (Client Information Sheet) for the buyer or mandate

- RWA/POF from a top-tier bank, if required by seller

- Confirmation of ability to perform under standard procedures (e.g., KYC/AML compliant)

Yes. We conduct internal vetting to ensure all parties are genuine, compliant, and financially ready to transact. This protects all parties and enables smoother deal execution.

Bourgeon Ventures is headquartered in London, United Kingdom, operating across global commodity hubs through its network of strategic partners and institutional relationships.
