Frequently asked questions
VIEW ALL FAQsAL Biz acts as your procurement partner if you're a buyer or your marketing and sales partner if you're a seller. We manage the full trade cycle — from sourcing and negotiation to documentation, dispatch planning, and post-delivery quality follow-up — so you can focus on your business without getting buried in operational complexity.
No. AL Biz's assisted trade is built on a digital-first model. Buyers and sellers connect, verify credentials, and close deals entirely through our platform and network — without factory floor visits or international travel. All necessary due diligence is handled through structured KYC and documentation processes.
We conduct a product-wise, region-wise analysis based on your requirement. For example, Zorba scrap is primarily sourced from the USA based on pricing dynamics and material availability. We tap into our global network as well as digital channels to identify and shortlist only those counterparties who meet your quality, pricing, and compliance benchmarks.
That's part of our process. If an initial quote doesn't align, we go back into the market — collecting more offers, renegotiating, and iterating until we find a fit. You don't need to manage this loop yourself; we do it on your behalf.
No — and this is actually where most trade issues begin. After deal confirmation, AL Biz manages the full operations phase: KYC exchange, order binding, dispatch planning, shipment tracking, payment milestone coordination, and quality verification. We stay active until the goods are delivered and feedback is resolved.
