What we do

Three capabilities, one shared discipline: traceability.

Sourcing

Intermediation and sourcing

Identification of opportunities and supply counterparties for defence materiel across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, with prior verification of regulatory feasibility and documented due diligence.

Documentation

Documentary structuring

Letters of intent, non-disclosure and non-circumvention agreements, offers, supply contracts, and due diligence (KYC) and end-user files, with complete traceability from start to finish.

Transaction

Transaction coordination

Licence management with the competent authority, milestone-based payment structures, banking instruments, inspection and logistics coordination through to delivery.

How we work

A phased method that protects all parties.

PHASE 01

Contact and scoping

Definition of the subject matter, the parties and the preliminary regulatory feasibility of the transaction.

PHASE 02

Confidentiality and due diligence

Non-disclosure and non-circumvention agreement, and a documented KYC process covering all counterparties.

PHASE 03

Expression of interest and verification

Letter of intent and verification of the availability, specifications and condition of the materiel.

PHASE 04

Licences and contract

Processing of the required authorisations and signing of the supply contract.

PHASE 05

Milestone-based execution

Payments against verifiable milestones, independent inspection and coordination of delivery.

Every transaction is conditional upon obtaining the required licences and authorisations. Empire Innovation does not participate in transactions outside the applicable regulatory framework.
