For suppliers
Reach buyers in other countries without carrying the risk of being paid.
The money exists before you ship
You are cleared to dispatch only once the buyer’s payment is secured with us. No shipping on a promise, no chasing an invoice across a border, no deal that goes quiet after the container sails.
Requests matched, not broadcast
Our desk sends you requests you can actually fill — your category, your capacity, your season. You are not one of forty firms answering the same enquiry into silence.
Buyers you would not otherwise meet
No website needed, no English needed, no export experience needed. A verified profile and real goods are enough.
Your prices stay yours
Buyers see the price Ellanat presents, not your figure. Competitors see nothing at all, and neither do the other suppliers on the same request.
The paperwork checked with you
We tell you exactly which documents the route needs and review each one as you upload it. A rejection comes with the reason and the time to fix it — not at the border.
Nothing to pay to be here
No listing fee, no subscription, no charge to receive a request. Our commission comes off the deal, on the buyer’s side of the price, when the deal completes.
Getting listed
- 1
Register your business
Trading name, legal name, where you are, and what you supply. Fifteen minutes with your licence in front of you.
- 2
Upload your documents
Business licence, tax number, and something showing the address. A person reads them and comes back within two working days.
- 3
List what you supply
Product, specification, minimum order, lead time and an indicative price. Photographs matter more than words here — a buyer decides on the photograph.
- 4
Requests start arriving
Matched to your categories. You quote your own price, on your own terms; we present it with our commission added on the buyer’s side.
- 5
Ship, upload, get paid
Payment is released from held funds once the documents pass and the buyer confirms delivery. To your verified payout account, nowhere else.
What verification asks for
Your business licence or registration certificate, your tax identification number, proof of the address you trade from, and a person we can reach on a phone who answers for the firm.
A manufacturer is also asked what they make and at what capacity; an exporter, which markets they have shipped to. Not to be difficult: a buyer who is about to pay for eighteen tonnes is entitled to know we asked.
Verification takes two working days once the documents are complete. If we reject something, we say which document and why, and you can correct it and resubmit.
How and when you are paid
From funds the buyer has already paid to us, to the payout account on your verified profile, in the currency the deal names.
On a single-stage deal: once the required documents are accepted and the buyer confirms delivery. On a staged deal: a deposit against production and the balance against the bill of lading, with each release condition written on the deal before anybody accepts it.
A change to your payout details is treated as a verification event, not an edit — we re-check before we pay. It is slower, and it is why nobody can redirect your money by getting into your email.
What we ask of you
Quote what you can actually deliver, at a price you will honour, in the lead time you stated. A quote you withdraw after acceptance costs a buyer a season.
Answer requests, even to decline. A response rate is on your public profile, because it is the single best predictor of whether a deal will complete.
Do not ask a buyer for their contact details or give yours in a message. Their protection — and the reason they are buying from a firm they have never met — depends on the deal running through us.
