Why Offport starts with real buying requests
Offport connects genuine buying requests with suitable supply, starting with a clear description of what each business needs or offers.
Software is not the hard part
A trade platform is only as useful as the requirements and supply that pass through it. Directories with many listings and few serious buyers are common; so are buyers who cannot find suppliers that will actually respond.
Offport starts with genuine requirements from buyers and genuine capability from suppliers, reviewed by people.
How we review requests
Buyers describe what they need. Sellers describe what they can supply. The Offport team reviews each submission, asks questions where needed and — when there is a genuine fit and both parties agree — makes an introduction.
- 1% commission on completed trade.
- Every submission is read by a person.
- No contact details are shared without permission.
- No promise of a match: we will only reach out when there is a relevant next step.
What it means
- If you are actively sourcing or selling, a precise submission is the most useful thing you can share.
- Clear requests help identify suitable products, trade routes and commercial terms.
Limitations
- This is a description of Offport’s approach, not evidence of demand in any particular market.
