Trade Assurance
The BDBM Trust Framework: Protecting Every International Trade.
What is BDBM Trust?
Trade Assurance is a free service provided by BD Business Market designed to create trust between buyers and manufacturers. It ensures that your money is safe and that the manufacturer fulfills their trade obligations.
Core Protections:
- Payment Protection: Funds are held in a secure third-party escrow account.
- Shipping Guarantee: Manufacturers must provide verifiable tracking to trigger funds release.
- Quality Assurance: Milestone-based release ensures goods meet your specifications.
The Payment Flow
Our escrow model is simple yet robust. Once a trade agreement is finalized via a Proforma Invoice (PI), the buyer deposits the full trade value into the BDBM Secure Gateway.
The manufacturer is immediately notified that funds are "Locked & Secured." This provides the manufacturer with the financial confidence to begin production or prepare shipping without the risk of non-payment.
Milestone-Based Release
For large-scale orders, BDBM supports milestone payments (e.g., 30% on production start, 70% on bill of lading). Each release requires mutual confirmation from both parties, ensuring total transparency.
Success-Only Model
Wait times for international transfers are eliminated. Once the buyer confirms receipt, the manufacturer receives their 97.5% balance (after our 2.5% success fee) instantly within our ecosystem.
