Clients pay suppliers directly. KM Global does not act as a reseller or trading intermediary. All fees are agreed in advance, in writing, before work begins.

Why This Model

Aligned incentives. No hidden costs.

No upfront risk

The initial consultation is free. Project fees are agreed before work starts — you know exactly what you are paying for.

Scales with your project

Project-based fees reflect the actual scope of work. Smaller, defined projects cost less than full multi-stage engagements.

3% vs 10–20%

Trading companies and intermediaries typically mark up 10–20%. Our commission model keeps costs low while maintaining full transparency.

Aligned interests

We earn when you succeed. Our commission model means we are motivated to find the best supplier at the best price — not the one that pays us more.
