Commercial agent representation

We can represent your company to prospects, at trade shows and in commercial discussions. Because representation and negotiation involve acting for you, this service only starts with a specific written mandate that sets the territory, products, authority, price limits and remuneration.

Hypothetical scenario

Hypothetical: entering Belgium before opening an office

A French equipment maker wants a presence in Belgium. The mandate covers two product ranges, price authority up to a set discount and commission on paid invoices.

We attend a trade show, follow up visitors, run meetings and prepare proposals. The maker signs contracts and delivers; monthly reviews decide whether to extend the territory.

Questions

Can you sign contracts for us?

Only if the written mandate explicitly grants that authority. By default you sign.

Is the mandate exclusive?

Exclusivity is optional and must be stated in the mandate with its scope and duration.

Tell us about your situation. The form will carry this service.
