The problem

Why your margins are shrinking

Most UK businesses pay a "convenience tax" by buying from UK wholesalers or unverified online agents.

UK Wholesalers

Layered markups: paying 3–4 commissions before the goods reach you.
Lack of choice: your options are limited by the wholesaler, and unique products are hard to buy.

Online Agents

Quality lottery: risking your reputation on unverified "Gold Suppliers".
Logistics friction: managing the nightmare of duty, VAT and customs.
The 70% reality gap: up to 70% of "manufacturers" on global B2B platforms are actually trading companies.

Why us

Not just agents — we are business owners

We run our own F&B and tech businesses in and outside the UK. We understand margins and cost because we source for our own companies too.

Based in Cambridge & London, with our own people on the ground in China.
Native Mandarin and Cantonese speakers dealing directly with Chinese factory owners.
We cut out the sales agents and bring our sourcing advantages to you.
