How We Work
Vetting, NCNDA/IMFPA protection, no upfront fees, sanctions screening and short broker chains: how info2fuel handles every petroleum deal.
1. Vetting
Before any offer or requirement is forwarded we check: company registration and address, how long the people involved have been active, a live voice or video call, and whether the documents (SCO, ICPO, procedure, spec sheet) are internally consistent. Recycled or copy-pasted offers are dropped.
2. NCNDA / IMFPA
All intermediaries sign a Non-Circumvention, Non-Disclosure Agreement and an Irrevocable Master Fee Protection Agreement (ICC-style templates) before buyer and seller are introduced. The IMFPA fixes who pays commission, how much (typically per MT or per barrel) and when.
3. No upfront fees
info2fuel never charges buyers or sellers upfront fees. We also refuse to forward offers that require the buyer to pay storage, “tank”, licensing or registration fees before product is verified. Commission is earned only from completed transactions.
4. Sanctions screening
Parties, beneficial owners where available, vessels and product origin are screened against the U.S. OFAC SDN list and the UN, EU and UK consolidated lists. We do not broker products of prohibited origin and we respect price-cap and export-control rules. When in doubt, we walk away.
5. Broker in the middle
As an intermediary we represent one side of the deal and find the other. We keep chains short (ideally direct, at most two or three intermediaries), pass documents unchanged, and don't publish one party's identity to the other until agreements are signed.
6. Principals transact directly
Contracts, inspection, payment and delivery happen between buyer and seller and their banks. info2fuel does not take title to product or hold client funds.
Our fee
A fee that falls with every completed transaction
info2fuel is paid only when a deal between parties we introduced actually completes, and your fee decreases with every completed transaction, per the published schedule, down to a permanent 0.025% from your 21st transaction. Larger volumes receive lower rates per the published volume schedule.

Volume schedule
Larger volumes receive lower rates per the published volume schedule. The multiplier applies to the per-unit fee for the whole transaction quantity (transactions 1–20); the fee never falls below 0.025 % of FOB value.
