December Trade Intelligence helps buyers and sellers assess counterparties, structure commercial terms and coordinate the path from opportunity to execution.
International trade becomes viable when the right counterparties, commercial terms, responsibilities and documents are aligned. December works inside that space—between the first conversation and the completed transaction.
03 / FOUR DIMENSIONS
The work is not to make complexity disappear. It is to make each decision visible, understood and coordinated.
WHO IS ON THE OTHER SIDE?
Identify the business, understand the commercial context and evaluate whether an introduction is worth advancing.
WHAT IS ACTUALLY BEING AGREED?
Clarify price, conditions, responsibilities and timing so both sides understand the commercial position before commitment.
WHAT MUST BE COORDINATED?
Organize the information, documents and specialist touchpoints required to keep the transaction moving responsibly.
WHO STAYS WITH THE PROCESS?
Maintain alignment after the introduction and continue coordinating the commercial relationship through completion.
04 / CAPABILITIES
Four capabilities, applied as one coordinated commercial mandate.
Identify potential trading partners, assess the commercial context and qualify whether an opportunity should advance.
Who the other party is, what they need and whether the fit is credible.
Represent the client’s interests and help both sides move from broad intention to clear commercial positions.
Pricing, conditions, responsibilities, timing and decision points.
Translate discussions into a coherent framework that makes expectations and obligations visible.
How the transaction should progress and what each party is responsible for.
Coordinate required information, documentation and specialist touchpoints without obscuring who owns each responsibility.
What is needed, who provides it and when it must be available.
05 / BOTH SIDES
Find and assess potential suppliers, clarify the commercial position and structure the purchase before execution begins.
Reach qualified buyers, understand their position and structure terms that protect the commercial relationship.
06 / THE DECEMBER METHOD
A structured mandate creates a clearer path for every decision that follows.
Define what the client is trying to buy, sell or structure, and identify the constraints that matter before outreach begins.
Search for the right commercial fit and assess the available context before making or advancing an introduction.
Move from interest to a structured discussion of terms, responsibilities, timing and expectations.
Coordinate the information, documents and specialist touchpoints needed to support the agreed path.
Maintain communication and alignment beyond the introduction, through the completion of the agreed commercial process.
07 / DEFINITION
Not a distributor.
Not a freight forwarder.
Not a marketplace.
A strategic trade intermediary.
December does not take title to the goods or replace the specialists involved in transportation, customs or legal compliance. Its role is to represent commercial interests, structure the relationship and coordinate the path between parties.
08 / THE STANDARD
Terms, responsibilities and expectations made visible before they become problems later.
Commercial relationships and negotiating positions handled with restraint and confidentiality.
Both sides understand the structure of the opportunity and what must happen next.
Engagement that continues beyond the introduction and stays connected to completion.
09 / FREQUENT QUESTIONS

No. December intermediates the relationship and the transaction; it does not take title to or physical possession of the goods involved.
December acts as a strategic intermediary representing commercial interests. It is closer to an outsourced trade function than a distributor.
The company works across different product categories and commercial contexts. The suitability of each opportunity is discussed individually.
