Get a leg up on your competition...

 

Finding your retail or wholesale product supplies at the lowest possible cost to you is an elemental pillar of competitive strength.  The potential of African economies to be the source of these supplies at the lowest possible price points is underpinned by very low labor costs and untapped supplies of raw materials.  The additional cost advantages accrued by trade preference programs such as AGOA (African Growth and Opportunity Act) and Everything But Arms which allow you to import virtually any available product at zero rates of tariff is an additional top line advantage that cannot be ignored.  But cost is simply one aspect of the overall equation that bears looking into when considering imports from Africa.  You want to know if your producer partners can meet all of your stringent criteria such as:

  • Sufficient capacity and scalability for large orders?
  • Meet SLAs embodying quality control, timely delivery, etc.?
  • Continuous reliability of supplies?
  • Meet the relevant standards in accordance with US or European law for the products they export?
  • Financial settlement terms suitable to doing business with US/EU companies?

 

Quality products from rock solid partners... 

   

Emergent Global can help you source products from producers in Ethiopia that meet these requirements and more.  Including those showcased on our online retail channel and wholesale showcase, MadeInEthiopia.com. Towards linking your sourcing needs with the right level of fulfillment, we can bring to bear resources such as the following:

  • In direct contact with numerous export ready producers at any given time
  • Work closely with public sector programs seeking to promote bilateral US/EU-Ethiopia trade.
  • Committed to working through any existing obstacles to get deals done that are mutually beneficial to importers & exporters
  • Can provide support for critical elements of bilateral trade such as financial settlement, customs brokering, warehousing and more, in order to help execute favorable transactions
  • Can act on your behalf to find producers that meet the exact requirements you specify
  • Have locations in the United States and Ethiopia allowing us to more effectively hold discussions that help us understand your needs and be more responsive to them.
  • Understand the language of SLAs, NDAs, escrow payments and other instruments particular to the global corporate culture

Whichever level of need describes your particular situation, we can help you assess the entire range of services needed (a la carte or package) and engage with your business to quickly and effectively produce the desired results.

 

Preliminary Consultations

 

We start off with a preliminary consultation to assess needs and determine how we can best utilize our resources to meet them.  Following that, we will present you with a clear and unambiguous proposal that outlines the details of our engagement with your business inclusive of NDAs (Non Disclosure Agreement) and other supporting documents.  Upon completion of the engagement arrangements, we will work closely with you throughout to secure the results outlined in our proposal.

 

Results Oriented

 

Our terms of engagement are heavily results oriented.  In many cases, while there may be a minimal service charge that is payable upon engagement, the bulk of compensation to Emergent will be contingent upon the successful completion of the engagement agreement executed.  This is a direct reflection of our business approach in general...We don't succeed unless you do!
