How does AJG make money if it charges no upfront fees?
AJG earns commission only on completed trades. The commission rate is negotiated with each principal at mandate acceptance. Typical commission ranges: 1-3% on high-volume commodity trades, 2-5% on manufactured goods, 5-10% on high-value niche or speciality goods. Both buyer and seller principals agree to commission terms in writing before AJG begins working the mandate.
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.
How long does a typical mandate take to complete?
Timeframe varies significantly by product and market: commodity agro-food mandates may complete in 4-8 weeks; manufactured goods mandates typically take 8-16 weeks for first shipment; pharmaceutical market entry (requiring regulatory approvals) may take 12-24 months. AJG provides a realistic timeline assessment at mandate acceptance.
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.
Can I mandate AJG to find a buyer in multiple countries simultaneously?
Yes. A multi-country mandate is priced with a higher commission rate to reflect the additional complexity and the value of multi-market access. AJG will specify which markets are covered in the mandate agreement.
