§ 02 / Process

Four steps from inquiry to protected introduction.

Pure intermediary
No close, no fee
01
Submit the brief
Buyer or seller, same structured intake: commodity, spec, quantity, origin or destination, incoterm, payment terms, and timing.
T + 0
02
We qualify the fit
We review the brief against active counterparties and current conversations. If there is a viable lane, we confirm interest before anyone is introduced.
Typically within 1 business day
03
Protected introduction
If both sides want to proceed, we document the introduction and the fee trigger in writing. Negotiation stays direct between counterparties.
On mutual interest
04
Deal closes, fee settles
Auster earns only when a transaction closes. No introduction, no charge. No close, no charge. Title never passes through Auster.
At executed agreement
§ 03 / Why

Built for operators who need real counterparties, not noise.

Two sides
One commercial standard
● For buyers

Procurement without a cold-search spiral.

  • I.
    Focused supplier coverage.
    We work inside certified organic grains and pulses only, so the outreach and qualification work is narrower, faster, and more useful.
  • II.
    Commercial review, not directory spam.
    We do not hand over a giant contact list. We qualify fit, pressure-test the lane, and move only the conversations that look commercially real.
  • III.
    Your demand stays controlled.
    Specs, volumes, and destinations are not posted openly. Buyer detail moves only as needed, under mutual interest.
  • IV.
    Fee only at close.
    No retainer, no title risk, no marketplace listing fee. We earn when a transaction gets done.
● For sellers

Buyer access without giving the lane away.

  • I.
    Qualified demand first.
    We are not trying to expose your product to everyone. We are trying to identify the buyers most likely to transact inside the right spec, lane, and timing.
  • II.
    Protected introductions.
    Introductions are documented and fee-triggered in writing. We protect the brokerage lane rather than just forwarding names around.
  • III.
    Cross-border organic lanes.
    We work across practical certification paths including NOP, EU-equivalent, and COR-linked trade where the counterparties and paperwork make sense.
  • IV.
    Pure intermediary structure.
    We do not buy your product, warehouse it, or resell it. Counterparties contract directly while we manage the introduction and deal lane.
§ 04 / Program Path

From a trial container to a repeatable buying program.

Where growth matters
Repeat beats one-off
Stage 01 Trial
One container, one spec.
20-25 MTSingle originValidation first
A first container proves the spec, the paperwork chain, the freight lane, and whether the relationship is worth repeating.
›
Stage 02 Repeat
Quarterly cadence.
2-6 FCL / qtrLocked specLane discipline
Once a trial works, the conversation shifts from spot trade to cadence: same spec, same counterparties, fewer surprises, better decision quality.
›
Stage 03 Program
Monthly program buyer.
12-month horizonBackup originBulk or repeated FCL
This is the real objective: repeatable monthly demand or larger standing volume with backup sourcing logic behind it, not a stream of isolated one-offs.
Start a trial inquiry → Discuss a monthly program → Program inquiries reviewed directly by Auster
