01 — Partnership Kickoff: Letter of Intent (LOI)

Letter of Intent (LOI) — Your First Step to Engagement

At OBSIDIAN COMMODITY LLC, every successful transaction begins with a well-prepared Letter of Intent (LOI). This document establishes the foundation for evaluation and alignment, enabling us to respond with accuracy and efficiency.

To proceed, please submit a fully completed LOI on your official company letterhead, including:

Target price expectations
Detailed product specifications
Preferred port of delivery
Full buyer identification and contact details

We work directly with end buyers only; submissions from intermediaries or brokers are not accepted.

Submission Guidelines:

Language: English
Format: PDF
Delivery: Via email or official contact channels

Please ensure all required information is complete and accurate. Incomplete LOIs cannot be processed; however, our team will provide prompt feedback and guidance for necessary revisions.

Once reviewed, you will receive an initial response outlining indicative terms, conditions, or any relevant clarifications—ensuring full transparency from the outset of our collaboration.

02 — Offer Stage: SCO / FCO Issuance

Offer (SCO / FCO) — Precision, Clarity, Commitment

Once your LOI aligns with our commercial framework, OBSIDIAN COMMODITY LLC will issue a Soft Corporate Offer (SCO) or Full Corporate Offer (FCO)—marking the transition from interest to actionable opportunity.

Your offer package is designed for clarity and decision-making efficiency, including:

Comprehensive product specifications and competitive pricing
Clearly defined payment structures and delivery terms
Execution timelines and defined next-step procedures

To maintain momentum, we request the signed and stamped offer to be returned within 3–5 working days. This ensures continuity, priority allocation, and timely progression to the next phase of the transaction.

At OBSIDIAN COMMODITY LLC, every offer is more than a proposal—it’s a structured pathway toward successful deal execution.

03 — Commitment Phase: ICPO & Proof of Creditworthiness

ICPO & Proof of Solvency — Establishing Financial Commitment

Upon acceptance of the offer, OBSIDIAN COMMODITY LLC requires the issuance of a formal Irrevocable Corporate Purchase Order (ICPO) on your official company letterhead. This step confirms your intent and creates a binding commercial commitment.

To proceed, the following supporting documents must be submitted:

Valid proof of financial capability (POF, BCL, or RWA)
Official company registration or commercial registry extract
Passport copy of the authorized signatory

These credentials are essential for compliance, due diligence, and the preparation of a secure and enforceable contract.

4 Unlocked: ⚡️ Executing the Purchase Agreement (SPA).

Sales & Purchase Agreement (SPA) — Contractual Execution Framework

Following successful verification and compliance review of all submitted documentation, OBSIDIAN COMMODITY LLC issues the official Sales & Purchase Agreement (SPA) draft. This document represents the formal contractual foundation of the transaction and is subject to mutual review, negotiation, and final approval by both parties.

Once consensus is reached, the SPA is signed by both the buyer and seller, thereby establishing a legally binding and enforceable agreement.

Upon full execution of the contract, the transaction moves into the operational phase, which includes logistics coordination, customs clearance, and payment processing in accordance with agreed terms. From this point onward, the SPA serves as the governing legal instrument, and any amendments or schedule adjustments must be mutually agreed upon in writing.

At OBSIDIAN COMMODITY LLC, we ensure every contract is structured with precision, legal clarity, and full commercial transparency to support secure and efficient global trade execution.
