Trading Service

Quando si decide di avviare un import development  o di acquistare direttamente all’estero, ci si espone pur sempre ad alcuni rischi quali truffe, frodi, tentativi di phishing da parte di società inesistenti. Noi possiamo offrirti, in questo come in altri casi, un servizio di trading finalizzato all’acquisto. Sarà la nostra società presente sul territorio extra-nazionale ad acquistare per te. Questo permette di ridurre i rischi di un pagamento diretto al fornitore straniero e una maggiore tutela legale contro eventuali truffe, e produce numerosi altri vantaggi come, ad esempio, un più mirato controllo documentale. La nostra società acquisterà dal fornitore estero, e rivenderà al cliente che ci ha commissionato l’acquisto. In questa maniera, i rischi legati alla transazione internazionale si riducono, perché il fornitore estero si troverà di fronte un’azienda operante nel suo stesso paese, e nel caso in cui non sia in buona fede, non potrà contare sulle difficoltà della controparte di gestire un’eventuale controversia internazionale.
