Frequently asked questions

Aurea Trade Partners structures and executes trade and sourcing operations for companies that need to buy, import, store or distribute inputs and products. We can participate from finding and negotiating with suppliers through delivery of the product to the buyer in Mexico.

Depending on the operation, Aurea may act as the commercial counterparty and take on the purchase and subsequent sale of the product, or structure an operation jointly with the client and the necessary participants. The model is defined before each project begins.

No. Aurea is a commercial operator. We coordinate the various components of an operation—suppliers, transport, insurance, customs clearance, storage and distribution—relying on authorized specialists and providers where appropriate.

No. Aurea imports only goods it acquires for its own sale. Ownership, risk and customs responsibility for those imports belong to Aurea.

No. Aurea invoices only what it actually sells or the services it actually provides. In a commercial representation, the represented brand invoices its products and Aurea invoices its commission.

Yes, through a soft landing. A Mexican company of the group contracts with the client in Mexico, provides the service with its own operations, invoices and collects payment; from its home country, the foreign company provides the specialized services that correspond to it, with a contract, deliverables and an invoice. It is not lending a legal name: each company is accountable for what it invoices and meets its obligations in its own country.

Buying directly may require advancing capital, managing foreign suppliers, coordinating international logistics, carrying inventory and managing multiple participants. Aurea can consolidate those processes into a single commercial structure and give the buyer a simpler, more predictable solution.

Yes, depending on the structure of the operation. In certain projects, Aurea may acquire goods abroad, coordinate their import and then sell them to the domestic buyer under previously agreed terms.

Yes. We can support sourcing processes, supplier comparison, commercial negotiation and supply chain structuring. The depth of the validation process depends on the product, country of origin and characteristics of the operation.

Yes. The supplier does not need to be sourced by Aurea. We can evaluate operations where the client has already identified the manufacturer or supplier and needs support structuring purchasing, importing, inventory or distribution.

Mainly raw materials, industrial inputs, permitted chemicals, commodities and products linked to B2B supply chains. Each product is evaluated individually, considering commercial, logistical, regulatory and financial viability.

Both, although our model is most valuable in recurring operations. A monthly or annual supply program makes it possible to optimize purchasing, inventory, logistics, availability and working capital.

There is no universal volume. It depends on the product, origin, logistics and value of the operation. We evaluate each opportunity based on whether there is enough scale for the commercial structure to be efficient for both parties.

Not necessarily. We can also structure domestic operations, distribution, trading or supply where there is an opportunity to optimize the chain between producer and buyer.

It depends on the product. Before accepting an operation, we analyze the regulations, permits, restrictions and specialized participants required. Regulatory viability is part of the initial evaluation.

Yes. When the operation requires it, we can structure local storage and inventory to make deliveries according to the buyer's consumption or schedule.

Yes. We can design nationwide distribution arrangements with one or multiple delivery points, depending on the conditions of the operation and the available infrastructure.

Customs operations are carried out through the appropriate legally authorized participants and specialists. Aurea coordinates the process within the commercial and logistics structure of the operation.

It depends on the structure. An operation may include product cost, transport, insurance, importing, storage, distribution, financing and commercial margin. We aim to present the client with a comprehensive, economically transparent proposal.

Some operations may incorporate working capital, inventory or financing structures, subject to analysis and approval. Availability and terms depend on the buyer, supplier, product, amount, term and risk of the transaction.

In certain cases, trade credit terms may be considered. It is not automatic: each operation goes through a financial, commercial and risk evaluation process.

We normally need to know the product, technical specifications, required volume, purchase frequency, origin or current supplier, delivery destination, target price and desired commercial terms. With this information, we conduct an initial viability evaluation.

No. The initial evaluation is free of charge: it is a conversation to analyze the viability of the operation, in which we analyze all the information you share with us. If the operation moves forward, the terms are agreed in writing before starting.

Send us the basic information about your requirement. First, we conduct a preliminary viability evaluation; then we define the commercial structure, suppliers, logistics, payment terms, schedule and responsibilities before executing the operation.
