What we offer

We start by stating clearly what you offer and to whom: target segments, priority sectors or regions, and the core message. We research potential customers, partners and suppliers using available sources and direct research, and present an organized list with the information available on each before any contact is made.

Once you approve the list, we organize first contact, prepare company introduction materials in the right language, arrange meetings and attend them where agreed, and document what was discussed, the next steps and who is responsible. We do not offer a ready-made network; we build contact in an organized, transparent way.

We follow up agreed steps after each meeting and keep a clear record for each party. Any commitment, agreement or contract is decided by the investor alone and reviewed by qualified legal professionals before signing.

A company from abroad wants to distribute its product in Syria and is looking for a local distribution partner.

Target regions, channels and the required partner profile are defined.
A list of potential distributors is prepared and approved by the company.
A company profile in Arabic and English is prepared and first meetings are arranged.
Each meeting and its next steps are documented, and information requests followed up.
Options are presented to the company, and any agreement is reviewed by a legal professional before signing.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have a ready-made partner network?

Do you guarantee customers or partners?

No. Potential parties decide independently; we focus on good preparation, organized contact and consistent follow-up.

Can we start before the company is set up?

Yes, objectives and initial research can start early, bearing in mind that any contract requires a suitable legal entity.
