Partnership models
Choose how much risk and how much control you want.
Three partnership models. In all three, your trademark registration, clearances and local domains stay in your name. No exceptions.
01
Distribution Plus
Who it's for
For brands that want to validate Argentina without exposing capital or taking collection risk, but won't settle for a distributor that files them in a catalogue.
How it works
- 01Category assessment and definition of the achievable shelf price.
- 02First firm purchase order, paid against shipment.
- 03Annual brand-building plan, with budget committed by contract and approved by you.
- 04Commercial execution and quarterly reporting on brand investment.
What each side brings
| What you bring | What we bring |
|---|---|
| Product at export price | Firm purchase and inventory |
| Brand book and brand assets | Importing, clearances and logistics |
| Approval of the annual plan | Collections and channel credit risk |
| Committed brand investment |
How the result is shared
Our income is the commercial margin between purchase price and channel selling price. A contractually fixed percentage of sales is reinvested in building your brand and reported quarterly.
What's needed to start
- Assessment approved
- Export price and lead time confirmed
- Minimum first-order volume agreed
02
Revenue Share
Who it's for
For brands that want to build a real position in the market and are willing to share the result in exchange for someone else putting up working capital and execution.
How it works
- 01Entry Plan with investment, targets and clearance calendar.
- 02You ship product on consignment or with payment deferred against sales.
- 03We provide working capital, structure, clearances and team.
- 04Gross margin is settled on a tiered table, with monthly reporting.
What each side brings
| What you bring | What we bring |
|---|---|
| Product | Working capital and structure |
| Brand licence for Argentina | Clearances and registrations |
| Approval of identity and campaigns | Commercial, regulatory and marketing team |
| Channel risk and collections |
How the result is shared
Gross margin is split on a volume-tiered table: the more the brand grows, the better the split gets for you. If your brand doesn't move, we don't get paid.
What's needed to start
- Assessment and Entry Plan signed
- Currency and FX band defined
- Sub-category exclusivity that renews against results
03
Brand Operator
Who it's for
For brands that want the Argentine market without spending management attention on it, and prefer predictable income over a variable share.
How it works
- 01Brand licence for the territory, with brand book and audits.
- 02We operate with commercial autonomy inside the agreed limits.
- 03Royalty on net sales plus annual guaranteed minimums.
- 04Annual audit of brand usage and brand-book compliance.
What each side brings
| What you bring | What we bring |
|---|---|
| Brand licence for Argentina | The full commercial and financial operation |
| Brand book and quality standards | Production or sourcing as agreed |
| Audit rights | Marketing, channel and customer service |
| Guaranteed minimums |
How the result is shared
You receive a royalty on net sales plus an annual guaranteed minimum. Our income is the operating result less that royalty.
What's needed to start
- Trademark registered or filed in Argentina
- Brand book and standards defined
- Minimums and licence term agreed

| Speed to market | High | Medium | Medium |
