Why a Different Model?

Capital equipment is not sold like consumer goods.

Most Turkish export advisors ignore this distinction. Finding a distributor model may work for detergent and furniture. It does not work for selling a $2M grinding mill to a mining company.

Decision-Maker Hierarchy

You need to convince five different people.

For any capital equipment purchase at a major Ghana mining or construction company, all these levels must approve. Skip one and the process resets.

01

VP Technical

Approves technical fit. Evaluates supplier's engineering capacity.

02

Plant Manager

Validates operational compatibility. Questions integration with existing equipment.

03

Maintenance Manager

Questions spare part availability and local service capacity. Most critical gatekeeper.

04

Procurement

Evaluates commercial terms, payment structure, and AVL compliance.

05

Country GM

Final approval for large contracts. Relationship trust closes here.

Procurement Process

The 6 stages of supplier approval in Ghana's major sector companies.

At every stage of this process, a foreign supplier without a local representative is invisible. If you're invisible, you're not evaluated.

01

Supplier Registration

Company documentation, financial statements, references. AG provides full support through this process.

02

Technical Qualification

Evaluation of product technical specifications. Presentation to local engineering teams.

03

Approved Vendor List (AVL)

Supplier added to AVL after passing all prior stages. Without this, you cannot receive RFQs.

04

Request for Quotation (RFQ)

Only AVL suppliers receive RFQs. AG coordinates your bid preparation.

05

Technical & Commercial Evaluation

Buyer evaluates technical and commercial offers separately. AG provides negotiation support.

06

Contract

Final contract negotiation. AG provides local legal reference and contract review.

Post-Sale Reality

The ball mill stopped at 02:00am.

A critical equipment failure in a mining operation costs $50,000–$150,000 per hour in lost production. Every hour counts.

Without local rep

3 weeks

Spare parts wait time. Client knows who to blame.

With AG

Same day

Response from Accra. Local stock or sourcing coordination.

Major mining operators in Ghana prioritize local service capacity over price in supplier selection. This is not a preference — it is an operational necessity.

Why AG's Accra Presence Matters

Physical Accra Presence

Management meetings, site visits, emergency response — someone who is there, not a representative doing it remotely.

Registered Ghanaian Legal Entity

Company registered in Ghana. Buyers are dealing with a legal entity, not an intermediary.

Local Decision-Maker Network

Existing relationships at Ghana's major mining, construction, and industrial operators.

Monthly Transparent Reporting

Every month: who was met, what stage, what's next. No ambiguity.

4-Phase Engagement

No risky big commitments. Each phase stands on its own.

Every phase delivers concrete value before you proceed to the next. You are not obligated to continue after Phase 1 — but most clients do.

Phase 1

Sector Intelligence Report

$3,500

fixed fee · 30 days

Money-back guarantee: if the report doesn't contain actionable intelligence you couldn't get independently, full refund.

Report includes

5 company profiles (equipment inventory, maintenance budget, supplier history)
Equipment renewal timelines
Decision-maker contact details
Competitive analysis of existing suppliers
AVL requirements per company
Recommended entry strategy
30-min video presentation of findings
Phase 2

Supplier Registration & Initial Technical Meetings

$1,800/şirket

3 companies = $5,400 · 60–90 days

For each target company, we manage the supplier registration process, coordinate technical presentation meetings, and follow up the AVL approval application.

Phase 3

Active Representation

$2,500/ay

+ 4% success fee · 6-month minimum

We act as your authorized technical representative in Accra. Decision-maker meetings, RFQ tracking, bid coordination, negotiation support, and monthly reporting.

↗ Success fee is 4% of contract value. On a $1,000,000 contract: $40,000. Compare: a standard export commission agent demands 10–15% and prices you out of the market.

Phase 4

Success Premium & Continuation

%4

of contract value

When the contract is signed, we collect the success fee. Ongoing representation continues — major mining companies issue repeat orders and maintaining this relationship means new contracts.
