What we do

Two divisions.
One accountable partner.

ASV operates at the intersection of physical commodity markets and European project capital. We take mandates — not advisory briefs — and stay involved until there is a commercial outcome.

Simple explanation

What ASV does,
in plain words.

Trading
We execute real commodity trades across borders. ASV handles sourcing, counterparty verification, commercial structure, documentation, logistics and settlement — so a mandate actually closes.
Projects
We turn project ideas into funded, operational businesses. ASV identifies the right EU funding route, builds the application and consortium, then coordinates delivery through to market entry.
Difference
We take mandates, not just fees. ASV does not advise from the sidelines. We structure each engagement, coordinate all relevant parties and remain accountable until there is a commercial result.
Step 01 — Assess

Evaluate the mandate

We analyse the commodity trade or project brief to determine feasibility, the right structure and the most direct path to execution.

Step 02 — Connect

Bring the right parties

We introduce qualified counterparties, funding institutions, consortium partners and market contacts — drawing on a network built over two decades.

Step 03 — Coordinate

Drive to outcome

We manage the full execution: documentation, logistics, funding applications, delivery milestones and commercial close. One team. End to end.

— 01 / Commodity Trading

Physical commodities, traded globally.

ASV sources and structures physical commodity trades across borders — from rare and precious metals to oil, gas and critical raw materials. We maintain direct relationships with mine operators and qualified sellers, coordinating every stage from provenance verification to final delivery through a single accountable mandate.

Our network spans producers and trading partners across Brazil, Colombia, South America, Europe and Asia. We work directly with operators who own and manage their own extraction sites, eliminating unnecessary intermediaries and maintaining full supply chain transparency.

All transactions are structured through internationally recognised commercial frameworks — including FOB, CIF, NCNDA, IMFPA, ICPO and SPA documentation — and third-party inspection is coordinated through accredited verification partners including SGS.

Clients are welcome to conduct site visits at any stage of the engagement.

01 / Sourcing

Find the right supply

We work through qualified producers, sellers, mandate holders and trading relationships to identify real product availability.

02 / Verification

Check the counterparty

Before structure comes trust: provenance, documentation, capacity, price basis, delivery terms and compliance are reviewed early.

03 / Structure

Build the trade route

We coordinate buyer requirements, payment logic, inspection, shipping, insurance and the documents needed for closing.

04 / Execution

Move to settlement

The mandate stays managed through delivery, acceptance and settlement so both sides have a clear execution path.

— 02 / Project Consultancy

Innovative projects realised with European capital.

We turn innovative project ideas into funded, operational businesses. ASV supports clients from the first assessment to EU funding, implementation, market entry and long-term profitability, backed by Brussels access and a network of major global players.

— Process

A to Z, in four stages.

— Stage 01

Concept & eligibility

We assess whether the idea is innovative, fundable and commercially relevant, then map it against active EU programmes and national co-financing routes.

— Stage 02

Funding & structure

We build the funding structure, author the application and assemble the right consortium with Brussels support and strategic industry partners.

— Stage 03

Delivery & oversight

We accompany implementation from start to finish: milestones, compliance, reporting, disbursement and coordination with EU and national authorities.

— Stage 04

Operation & profit

Our network helps establish the project in the market, connect it with global players and build a model designed to stay profitable long term.

Beyond funding

EU money is only the beginning.

A funded project still needs technical partners, political alignment, market access, commercial discipline and a clear route to customers. ASV builds that route early, so the project does not stop at approval.

Our role is to connect the funding logic with the business logic: who supports it, who builds it, who buys it, and how it becomes profitable after launch.

ASV operates through selected international relationships and strategic cooperation structures across Europe and beyond.

Through direct collaboration with a Brussels-based strategic policy and international affairs organization, ASV maintains access to broader institutional, industrial and cross-border perspectives relevant to international projects, strategic materials and commercial coordination.

This direct relationship supports a wider understanding of European industrial developments, geopolitical dynamics and international cooperation frameworks without intermediary structures.
