Information for Suppliers

Definition of Supplier

A supplier is a person or company that desires to sell products or services. For example, an Angolan distributor who is looking to market and sell cashew nuts in the U.S.A. Another example is an American manufacturer of industrial safety equipment who is looking to sell their products in the Angolan market. In both situations the companies are looking to sell their products in a market they are not sufficiently familiar with or do not have a physical presence in.

Why should suppliers work with ANGOLIFE

Introducing a product into a new market is not something that is done overnight even if all of the conditions seem to be met. Having a quality product for a local market does not guarantee on its own that this product can be sold in a foreign market. There are several aspects that need to be addressed in order to determine the viability for selling your product in a foreign market. ANGOLIFE is prepared to analyze all of these aspects. If you wish we can even present a detailed report regarding the potential for selling your product in the target market. Our guarantee: ANGOLIFE has the necessary determination to face the obstacles and put into practice the plans and projects mutually established.

The Process

Our process is very simple. You are a producer, manufacturer, or distributor who has a product or service to sell. You introduce yourself to ANGOLIFE and we immediately start working to understand the exact details and characteristics of your product. After all the necessary information is gathered, we research the market and critically analyze the potential for selling your product. The target market’s characteristics, potential buyers, and competitiveness are presented to you. We will also address all aspects of bringing your product to the target market such as regulatory compliance, customs tariffs, and transportation. If you decide that conditions are favorable we immediately begin the next phase of the transaction with the ultimate goal of bringing your product to the target market.
