Why LVS Trading
Most offers in this market are not real.
Broker chains, recycled offers and requests for upfront fees waste weeks for serious buyers and sellers. We cut through it: one accountable UK company, checked counterparties and a clear path from first enquiry to signed contract.
KYC before documents
We verify company, ownership and sanctions status on both sides before LOIs, ICPOs or offers are exchanged.
No upfront fees
We never ask buyers or sellers to pay us before a deal. Our fee is agreed in writing and paid on performance.
Independent inspection
Quality and quantity are confirmed by recognised inspectors such as SGS before payment is released.

FAQ
Questions we hear often.
Do you buy and sell the goods yourselves?
No. We act as a sourcing agent and intermediary. We find and verify the counterparty, structure the deal and coordinate it to delivery, but the contract is signed directly between buyer and seller.
Do you charge any fees upfront?
Never. Our fee is agreed in writing before an introduction and is paid only on a completed deal. If anyone asks you for an upfront fee in our name, do not pay and contact us on a number you have confirmed yourself.
What do you need from me to start?
Product and specification, quantity, delivery terms (for example FOB or CIF), the port, and your timing. For KYC we will also ask for company registration documents. Buyers may be asked for proof of funds and sellers for proof of product at the right stage.
How do you check counterparties?
Both sides go through KYC: company registration, ownership, authorised signatories and sanctions screening. We do not pass on offers or documents until those checks are done.
What quantities do you handle?
We focus on physical cargoes, usually trial shipments followed by regular contracts. Minimums depend on the product and route. Tell us your requirement and we will say honestly if it is a fit.
How is quality guaranteed?
Through independent inspection, such as SGS, at loading, with a certificate of analysis against the agreed specification. Payment terms are linked to those documents.
Which payment terms do you work with?
Standard, bank-backed instruments such as documentary letters of credit, agreed in the SPA between buyer and seller. We do not handle client money.
Do you work with sanctioned countries or companies?
No. Every party, vessel and route is screened, and we decline any deal that would breach UK or applicable international sanctions.
