One desk.
One standard.
EZ MERIDIAN is a Dubai desk for bulk commodities. The standard is shared: we only introduce people we would be comfortable doing business with ourselves.
A small desk,
deliberately so.
EZ MERIDIAN is a Dubai brokerage built on considered introductions between buyers and sellers of physical commodities. The conviction is simple: bring people together only when there is good reason to, be exact about the role you play, and never treat people as merely another deal.
We keep the desk small on purpose. Fewer introductions, each one understood before it is made, and a standard that does not move with the size of the cargo.
We introduce.
Principals trade.
An introducing broker connects a buyer with a seller and is paid a commission when business results, on terms agreed in writing before the introduction. We are not a trader: we do not buy or own goods, take positions or hold stock. We do not negotiate on behalf of either party, and we do not arrange shipping, documents, inspection, finance or payment. Once introduced, the principals deal directly.
What we do is the part that is hardest to do well: understanding a requirement precisely, screening the parties, and finding a counterparty worth your time.
To build a world where commerce creates value without compromising values.
To make the right connections, at the right time, for the right reasons, with the right people who believe in doing the right thing.
The Three Things
We Believe In.
Keep Good Company.
We choose the people we work with as carefully as the opportunities we pursue.
We screen both parties before any name is shared. We do not work with sanctioned parties, vessels or origins.
Never Trade Your Reputation.
We earn our good name through honest actions, even when doing the right thing costs us.
We agree our commission in writing before we introduce anyone, and we never take undisclosed fees. We neither pay nor accept inducements.
People Aren't Deals.
We never let the pursuit of business make us forget the people behind it.
We never ask for upfront fees, and we never ask for proof of funds before we understand your requirement. Where we cannot help, we say so.
E and Z. Two initials, set together, heavy and close, because the firm answers as one.
