About Us
A trade facilitation firm built for cross-border certainty
JAPFET Merchant & Investments Ltd works between buyers and suppliers, providing the verification, coordination and local presence that international transactions require.
Who we are
Independent by design, commission-based by model
We are a B2B service company, not a trader. We do not buy stock, we do not run a warehouse and we do not operate an online store. Our revenue comes from agreed service fees and commissions on mandates we deliver.
That structure keeps our advice honest. When a supplier fails verification, when a container is short-loaded, or when a vehicle does not match its listing, we have no commercial reason to look the other way.
Our work spans Africa, Europe and Canada, combining procurement expertise, on-the-ground inspection capability and logistics coordination in a single accountable relationship.
Our mission
To remove avoidable risk from international trade by verifying counterparties, goods and documentation before money and cargo move.
Our vision
To be the trusted trade facilitation partner linking African, European and Canadian businesses on transparent, professional terms.
Our model
Commission and service-fee based mandates, scoped and agreed in writing before work begins. No hidden supplier margins.
Our values
How we operate on every mandate
Integrity
Findings are reported as they are, even when they end a deal.
Diligence
Every supplier, document and shipment is checked against evidence.
Discretion
Client mandates, pricing and counterparties stay confidential.
Accountability
One named point of contact owns your mandate end to end.
Our difference
Why clients appoint JAPFET
Independent, not a reseller
We hold no inventory and no warehouse. Our incentive is your outcome, not moving stock.
Verified before you pay
Suppliers are checked, goods are inspected and findings are documented before funds move.
Three-continent reach
Working relationships across Africa, Europe and Canada with local language capability.
Transparent commission model
Clear, agreed fees per mandate. No hidden margins buried in supplier pricing.
JAPFET Merchant & Investments Ltd does not maintain inventory or warehouses and operates as a procurement support, inspection, logistics coordination, trade facilitation, and business brokerage company.
