The platform

What SQ hubb actually does.

A B2B platform between Europe and emerging markets, open only to accredited companies on both sides.

Who it is for

European sellers: agricultural and industrial groups, cooperatives. Accredited buyers: industrial groups, export purchasing offices and African economic interest groups.

What is traded

Industrial and agricultural parts, construction materials, packaging and raw materials, equipment and machinery. Dormant assets, checked and coded.

How a transaction works

The buyer orders, the funds go into escrow, the delivery is tracked end to end, and the seller is paid once it is confirmed.

The business model

Where the revenue comes from.

The platform never takes possession of the goods or of the funds. It earns on completed transactions, and on nothing else.

Goods travel from seller to buyer; the money travels the other way, through escrow held by a licensed payment provider.
