UK buyers · Nigerian suppliers

Know if the deal
works before
you commit.

TradeConnect Africa compares one proposed purchase from both sides, explains every mismatch and suggests the smallest changes both parties could agree to.

  • No marketplace
  • Private limits stay private
  • Two-sided approval

The product question

“What prevents this deal from working — and what would need to change?”

Directories and supplier badges stop at the introduction. TradeConnect starts from one real proposed transaction, separates negotiable commercial mismatches from missing evidence, and keeps a clear record of every proposed and agreed adjustment.

Commercial ≠ compliance

Evidence is tracked separately and only a qualified reviewer records a scoped outcome.

How it works

One case. Both sides. A clear next step.

  1. 01

    Start a case

    Buyer records one product, quantity, arrival date and destination — with private hard limits.

  2. 02

    Invite the supplier

    A named supplier sees only that case and the fields the buyer permits.

  3. 03

    Compare both sides

    Deterministic checks on quantity, arrival and price — only on a common basis.

  4. 04

    Review up to 3 repairs

    Each option shows the changed terms and exactly who must agree.

  5. 05

    Authorise & decide

    Affected parties authorise disclosure, then both approve the same revision.

  6. 06

    Evidence & report

    Specialist review stays separate. Export a dated case record.

Who it's for

Three roles, each seeing only what they should.

A Nigerian exporter and a UK buyer reviewing a case together

UK buyer

Create a case, set targets and hard limits, invite one named supplier, decide on proposals and download the report.

Never sees supplier floors or reviewer notes.

Nigerian supplier

Respond to invited cases only: MOQ, capacity, quoted arrival and possible concessions you choose to authorise.

Never sees the buyer's confidential ceiling.

Reviewer / adviser

Inspect assigned cases, record dated scoped evidence reviews and flag unresolved requirements.

No blanket legal clearance checkbox.

What it does

  • Compares quantity, arrival and comparable price
  • Explains each finding with exact values and sources
  • Generates up to three in-range repairs
  • Records same-version two-party approval
  • Tracks evidence and scoped specialist review
  • Exports a dated, access-controlled case report

What it won't do

  • Act as a supplier directory or marketplace
  • Issue legal, customs or food-safety clearance
  • Calculate duty, FX or landed cost
  • Handle payments, escrow or freight booking
  • Invent missing values or assume consent
  • Reveal one party's private limits to the other

Stories from real trade corridors

Trusted by people who trade with care.

Buyers, suppliers and advisers use one shared case to see what blocks a deal and agree the smallest practical change.

Portrait for Tunde Bakare
01

For the first time a UK buyer could see exactly why our MOQ mattered — and we agreed 350 cartons in two days instead of six weeks of emails.
