Frequently asked — Iona

What is All Frontier Global Nexus?
All Frontier Global Nexus (AJG) is a commission-only trade brokerage representing both buyer and seller principals simultaneously. We do not charge retainers, consulting fees, or upfront costs. Our fee is a commission paid only when a trade transaction is completed. We operate across 50 verticals, 185 countries, 273 FTAs, and 36 bilateral corridors.
What does 'both principals' mean?
AJG represents both the exporter (seller principal) and the importer (buyer principal) simultaneously. Unlike traditional brokers who represent only one side, AJG' commission-only model means our interest is aligned with completing the transaction — which benefits both parties. Full disclosure is maintained with both principals at all times.
Where is AJG based?
AJG operates from two bases: India — Panchkula, Haryana (proximate to Delhi, Punjab, Chandigarh industrial belt); and EU — London, United Kingdom (EU D2 Entrepreneur Visa, full EU market access). The website AllfrontierGlobal.com is hosted on Nestify servers.
Is AJG regulated?
AJG operates as a trade brokerage. In India, trade brokerage does not require specific licensing beyond standard business registration. In the EU (Portugal), Amit Jain operates under a D2 Entrepreneur Visa. AJG does not provide financial advice, legal advice, or investment advice — all of which require separate regulated professional qualifications.
What is the AJG Franchise model?
The AJG Franchise model allows qualified trade professionals to operate as AJG franchisees in specific geographic territories or vertical niches. Franchisees use the AJG platform, brand, and intelligence tools to originate mandates and earn a share of the commission. Details at franchise.php.
Can AJG handle mandates for small quantities?
AJG focuses on commercially viable mandates. Minimum mandate value: USD 50,000 per transaction. For SME exporters, AJG recommends consolidating with other exporters under a group mandate or participating in the AJG Academy to build export readiness first.
