Transaction discipline
How an opportunity becomes a transaction.
Iron Gate operates with a structured, case-by-case approach. Each transaction should be supported by credible counterparties, clear authority, relevant documentation and a commercially rational structure.
The process
Five steps, taken in order.
The same sequence is applied case by case — from first contact through documentation, commercial assessment and compliance review to transaction coordination.
Opportunity Intake
Identify the product, asset, project, buyer, seller, mandate, introducer, investor or strategic partner, and clarify the commercial objective.
Documentation & Authority Review
Review corporate documents, proof of product, proof of funds, mandate authority, licences, permits, vessel or logistics details, and broker-chain disclosure where relevant.
Commercial Assessment
Assess pricing, product specifications, route, payment structure, timeline, parties, risk points, transaction economics and execution feasibility.
Compliance & Banking Review
Screen relevant counterparties and transaction elements for sanctions, AML, PEP and adverse-media, source-of-funds, source-of-product and banking acceptance risks.
Transaction Coordination
Support the progression of LOIs, ICPOs, contracts, inspection steps, closing documentation, offtake discussions, funding discussions or other agreed transaction processes.
Third-party services
Specialist work is handled by specialists.
Where logistics, storage, inspection, transportation or terminal services are required, Iron Gate intends to rely on appropriately qualified third-party service providers, and expects counterparties and service providers to comply with applicable quality, health, safety, security and environmental standards.
