We don't buy goods. We don't hold inventory. We organise the documentation, coordinate the payment flow, and earn a commission when the deal closes. This is mercantile trade in its purest, most capital-efficient form.
Every trade mandate begins with a conversation. Both principals respond personally within 24 hours.
Mercantile trading means organising the commercial, documentary, and payment flow of a bilateral or trilateral trade transaction without taking physical possession of goods. Global Nexus sits at the centre of the transaction as the organising intelligence — not as buyer, seller, or freight operator.
We earn a commission when the deal closes. No inventory. No capital at risk. No goods touch our premises. Every mandate is commission-only — meaning we earn only when you earn.
This model is not new — it is the foundation of how commodity traders, merchant bankers, and commercial intermediaries have operated for centuries. What is new is our specific application: India–EU bilateral trade, FTA-optimised routing, and documentation systems designed for the post-BTIA era.
Produces goods. Receives payment from Global Nexus or directly from buyer under LC. Issues invoice to buyer or intermediary.
Coordinates documentation, payment instrument, FTA routing, and logistics. Issues back-to-back invoice (merchant model) or facilitates direct sale (agent model). Earns commission.
Sources goods through Global Nexus. Pays via LC or TT. Receives goods with compliant documentation for EU customs clearance.
The structure we recommend depends on product type, FTA eligibility, payment security needs, and the relationship between the principals.
Most exporters leave FTA benefit uncaptured because they don't understand Rules of Origin, don't maintain the right documentation, or don't know which routing delivers the highest duty reduction.
We map the FTA landscape for every mandate — identifying the optimal routing, the applicable preferential duty rate, and the documentation required to claim it at EU customs.
India–EU FTA Intelligence GuideDirect: 85–90% tariff elimination. Textiles 12%→0%. Engineering 7.5–15%→0%. Services Mode 4 IT mobility.
Zero duty on most Indian goods into UAE. UAE as re-export hub for MENA and Africa corridors.
Near-zero duty into Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand. ASEAN-EU access for processed goods.
Engineering, chemicals, auto parts. Japan as East Asian value chain gateway for EU manufacturers.
Every bilateral or trilateral mandate follows the same sequential structure — regardless of vertical, product, or geography.
When an intermediary earns only when the deal closes, their entire incentive aligns with yours. There is no retainer to justify, no hours to bill, no advisory fee that accrues while the deal stalls.
We pursue only deals we believe in. We pre-qualify both sides. We execute with urgency because our income depends on it — not on the passage of time.
We earn only when you earn. Every action we take is oriented toward closing the deal.
No retainer. No advisory fees. If the deal does not close, you owe nothing.
Commission-only model forces us to pursue only mandates we believe are closeable. We say no to weak mandates.
Unlimited verticals, unlimited geography. Every closed deal adds compounding commission income.
Repeat orders generate ongoing commission for the agreed term — without additional work per shipment.
Mercantile deal structures work in any sector — but commission rates, deal complexity, and repeat order frequency vary significantly by vertical.
