International Trade Advisory

Every counterparty verified. Every step documented. Every transaction supported to delivery.

VX247 advises companies and counterparties entering international commodity trade — fertilisers, metals, energy, grain, timber, agri-food and more — applying a documented, sequential procedure that removes complexity and verifies every step before the next one begins.

We don't just introduce — we structure, verify and document every step.

VX247 is a facilitator and accelerator for companies entering international trade — from SMEs to large commodity operators, in any country — who find risk and complexity standing in the way. The method proves this. Not the slogans.

  • Not a broker
  • Not a freight forwarder
  • Not a notary
  • Not a party to any commercial contract
  • Not a substitute for your existing tax and accounting advisor

A trusted trade advisor — the same role an experienced advisor plays for a company entering a new market: knows the path, reduces the margin for error, guides the decisions.

A significant saving of time and work. Sourcing, verification, document preparation, commercial terms exchange, signing — VX247 handles the entire process from first contact through to signed framework. What would take weeks of internal coordination is handled by one desk, with a single point of accountability. The parties arrive at signing with everything already in place.

Automated and sequential, up to contract signing — and supported beyond. The process is designed to move without unnecessary stops. Once the framework is signed, VX247 continues alongside the parties through shipment, payment, and any subsequent operations under the same counterparty relationship.

A single, accountable subject — every engagement is advised and invoiced through one corporate structure, never through an individual.

VX247 works alongside your commercialista, not in their place. Your tax and accounting advisor remains your fiscal reference point. VX247 brings the specific, cross-border competencies — customs, CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism), Incoterms, AML/KYC documentation, LC/SBLC structuring — that a transaction needs, in direct collaboration with the professional you already trust.

Two distinct engagements. One methodology.

VX247 works with two types of client. The engagement is different for each — but the method, the documentation, and the professional accountability behind it are the same.

For companies with a transaction ready to move

Transaction Advisory

You have a commodity operation — a seller with product or a buyer with demand. You need a qualified counterparty, a documented framework, and a process that moves without unnecessary stops from first contact to first shipment and beyond.

  • Counterparty sourcing and multi-source verification before any contact
  • Commercial terms exchange and FCO (Full Corporate Offer) preparation
  • Accordo Quadro — signed once per counterparty; LOE (Letter of Engagement) for each specific operation
  • Fee settled when commercial payment moves — GISANI invoices only after actual receipt
  • Continuous monitoring through the full supply relationship

VX247 handles the entire pre-contract process. Your team focuses on the commercial relationship — not the paperwork that precedes it. Once the framework is signed, VX247 stays alongside through each shipment and any subsequent operation with the same counterparty.

For companies building toward international trade

Continuous Retainer

Your company is not yet active internationally — or is active but scaling. You need a standing point of reference for cross-border questions, market context, and readiness-building toward a first or next transaction.

  • Personalised market briefing — commodity corridors, regulatory updates, pricing context
  • Ongoing Q&A on cross-border operations, documentation, and compliance
  • Progressive readiness-building toward a first transaction
  • Works in direct coordination with your existing commercialista
  • Fixed monthly fee — never linked to transaction value

Never sold cold — the retainer follows a first engagement or assessment. No pricing published here. Get in touch to discuss whether it fits your current stage.

Alongside both

Compliance & Regulatory

Specialist cross-border competencies that sit alongside a transaction or retainer — CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, mandatory from 2026 for fertilisers and cement), customs classification, Incoterms structuring, AML/KYC (Anti-Money Laundering / Know Your Customer) documentary review. Activated on need — never as a fixed cost detached from a real requirement.

No next step until the previous one is clear and confirmed by everyone.

"Nessun passo successivo senza che il passo precedente sia chiaro e confermato per tutti."
01

Verification before contact

Every counterparty is screened against multiple independent public sources — corporate registry, sector classification, trade history, sanctions lists — before your name is ever involved. This takes hours, not weeks.
02

Accordo Quadro — signable at any stage

The Accordo Quadro (framework agreement) is a lightweight framework — no price, no volume, no obligation to conclude any deal. Signing it simply opens the relationship: VX247 starts working to identify matching opportunities and the counterparty can submit requests. It is signed once and never needs updating. For each specific transaction that follows, the seller signs a short LOE (Letter of Engagement) containing the relevant commercial terms and the engagement — the Accordo Quadro itself is never touched again.
03

Disclosure — controlled, documented

Identity is revealed only once the framework is in place, each party has confirmed its terms in an FCO (Full Corporate Offer) and, on the seller side, the LOE for that transaction has been signed. From that point, the parties negotiate and conclude directly — VX247 does not sit between them.
04

Compensation built into the payment flow

The advisory fee is structured into the banking instrument at the moment of opening — it settles at the same moment the commercial payment moves. GISANI S.R.L. issues its invoice only after actual receipt — never before.

Why the structure works.

Any commodity, any corridor

Fertilisers, metals, crude oil, grain, timber, agri-food and more — if it moves in value and tonnage across a border, VX247 applies the same methodology. No sector is excluded.

One party pays, always

Compensation comes from the seller only — structured into the payment instrument at opening. GISANI S.R.L. invoices only after actual receipt. Never a commission split, never a double charge.

No advance payment, ever

No payment from either counterparty before the commercial transaction completes. The fee moves when the commercial money moves — at the same moment, in the same instrument.

Everything confirmed in writing

Every step — informal or formal — is confirmed in writing before the next one begins. Nothing agreed verbally is binding. Timestamped documents are the only record that counts.

One accountable corporate structure

Every engagement runs through GISANI S.R.L. — one registered Italian company, one responsible party, no individual intermediaries and no anonymous desks.

Alongside your advisors, not instead

Your commercialista stays your fiscal reference point throughout. VX247 adds the cross-border competencies — KYC/AML (Anti-Money Laundering), Incoterms, CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism), LC/SBLC (Letter of Credit / Standby Letter of Credit) structuring — the transaction specifically requires.

Not sure if your company is ready for international trade?

If you already have a transaction ready to move, skip this and get in touch directly. If you're still building toward a first operation, VX247 offers a free Readiness Assessment — a structured review of where your company stands, completed together with your trusted commercialista where relevant.

Readiness Assessment

A short online form about your company, what you want to trade and where you stand today, reviewed personally by our team — closing with a clear recommendation: ready, nearly ready, or not yet.

Free · No obligation · Response by email
Start the assessment

For a single operation, ready to move now.

Most engagements start here — a specific commodity transaction ready to move, on the seller or buyer side, structured end-to-end without a prior retainer. Any commodity, any corridor: fertilisers, metals, energy, grain, timber, agri-food and more. Minimum contract value USD 50,000.

What happens, in order

  • Counterparty qualified — KYC/AML (Anti-Money Laundering) screening on multiple independent sources
  • Accordo Quadro — signed at any stage, covers all future operations with that counterparty
  • FCO (Full Corporate Offer) from each party and, on the seller side, the LOE for the specific transaction
  • Identity disclosed once the two offers are confirmed as compatible
  • Parties negotiate and conclude directly — VX247 never sits between them
  • Fee structured into the payment instrument at opening — settles automatically with the commercial payment

How it's remunerated

  • Professional fee, not a commission — paid by one party only
  • Fee expressed in USD per metric tonne, set in the LOE (Letter of Engagement) for each transaction
  • Fee due at the natural payment date already in the commercial contract — no separate VX247 deadline
  • No retainer required first — this stands on its own

After signing

  • VX247 remains alongside the parties through subsequent shipments under the same framework
  • No re-signing for further operations with an already onboarded counterparty
  • Ongoing monitoring of the commercial relationship for the full duration
Discuss your transaction

Competencies your ordinary advisory relationship doesn't cover.

The retainer is never sold cold — it follows naturally once a first engagement has demonstrated how VX247 works. No fixed levels or public pricing here; what matters is the scope of competency available to you.

Included competencies

  • Customs regulation & classification
  • CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) compliance
  • Freight-forwarder relationship & document oversight
  • Incoterms structuring
  • International transaction accounting treatment
  • AML/KYC documentary review
  • LC / SBLC (Letter of Credit / Standby Letter of Credit) structuring

How it works

  • Begins only after a first transaction or assessment
  • Runs in direct coordination with your commercialista
  • Fixed fee, unrelated to transaction value — kept deontologically clean
  • Builds toward your first or next operation, one step at a time
  • No prices published here — get in touch to discuss fit

Every engagement starts with a written exchange.

VX247 works exclusively in writing. Reach out by email — we'll respond with the specific information we need to assess fit, never a generic pitch.
