Done For You — Stone Peak Trading Consultancy

Some operations don't need a system. They need a partner.

You have the business. You have the vision. What you don't have is someone already inside the market — with the network, the trade finance access, and the deal execution capability to activate your operation from day one. Stone Peak Trading Consultancy steps in and starts executing immediately.

Pay Activation Fee

The three problems we solve

Your operation launches into an empty room

Without verified buyers, sellers and service providers visible from day one, serious market participants see nothing worth committing to. First impressions in physical commodity markets are permanent.

Your brand exists but nobody trusts it yet

In African markets, trust flows through people, not brands. Without a deliberate, sustained visibility strategy anchored by someone the market already knows, awareness builds too slowly to matter.

Your deal flow stalls before it starts

Buyers wait for sellers. Sellers wait for buyers. Breaking this cycle requires someone who already has relationships on both sides and can activate them independently of your operation's organic growth.

What we deliver

Commercial partner recruitment

We identify, approach and onboard verified buyers, sellers and service providers across your target markets. Using warm relationships built over a decade of direct market engagement, we activate both sides of your operation before your first public launch.

Brand and market visibility

We build and manage your operation's brand and your leadership team's personal brand across LinkedIn, WhatsApp and relevant trade channels. Your market needs to know you before they need you. We make that happen.

Active deal facilitation

From month one, we match buyers and sellers using existing relationships on both sides. Every closed deal is documented. Every success story builds the social proof that drives organic growth and establishes your operation as a credible market participant.

Deal margin on all facilitated transactions

Agreed separately on a case by case basis. Structured around the specific transaction types, volumes and margins in your operation. Confirmed on your kick-off call after the activation fee is paid.

The commercial structure

Upfront activation fee

$10,000

Covers the first 45 days of intensive market activation. Outreach begins, brand is set up, content goes live and initial deal facilitation starts immediately upon signing.

Monthly retainer

$3,000 / month

Ongoing partner recruitment, deal pipeline management, brand and market visibility, and facilitation support for the duration of the engagement.

Deal margin

Per engagement

Agreed separately based on transaction type, volume and margin. Discussed and confirmed on your kick-off call.

This is not a consultancy arrangement built on advice and reports. It is a results-based commercial partnership built on an existing network, a clear plan, and a personal commitment to delivery.
