Karvan PartnersIran ⇄ Europe

The method

Verified people, then signed paper.

Every engagement follows the same five stages. You always know which one you are in, what we are waiting on, and who is doing it.

Our mission

Make the corridor ordinary.

Trade between Iran and Europe is not short of demand. It is short of trust, and of people who can carry a transaction end to end without something breaking in the middle.

Our mission is to build a working commercial network across both markets — entrepreneurs, investors, manufacturers, exporters, importers and advisers who can find each other, check each other, and do business without guesswork. We are a commercial group. We take no political position and we take on no political work.


Stages

From first message to signed agreement.

01

Enquiry

You send the form with your sector, country and a short description of the business. A partner reads it — not a call centre. Expect a reply within three working days.

02

Discovery call

Forty-five minutes in Persian, English, German or Turkish. We establish what you are actually trying to move, what capital or capacity you hold, and whether we are the right group for it. If we are not, we say so on that call.

03

Mandate and mapping

We write down the mandate in one page: what success looks like, the budget, the timeline, the fee basis. Then we map counterparties against it and run our checks on ownership, trading record and delivery history.

04

Introductions

You meet a shortlist, not a database. We attend the first meetings, translate where needed, and keep a written record of what each side committed to.

05

Structure and close

Contract terms, payment route, logistics plan and delivery schedule. We stay involved through the first completed transaction, because that is the one that tends to reveal the problems.

Standards

What we commit to, and what we will not do.

We do

Check before we introduce

No counterparty reaches your inbox before we have verified who owns it and what it has actually delivered.

We do

Put our own capital in

On investment mandates our partners co-invest. Our downside sits next to yours.

We do

Keep member data closed

Your details, documents and CV stay inside the group and are never passed on without your written consent.

We don't

Sell introductions by volume

We are not a directory. A mandate we cannot serve well is a mandate we decline.

We don't

Take political work

Our remit is trade, investment and industrial partnership. Nothing outside that.

We don't

Promise what we cannot route

If a transaction cannot be completed cleanly and lawfully in both jurisdictions, we tell you at stage two.

Common questions

Before you write to us.

Do I need to be based in Europe to join?

Most members live in Germany, Turkey, France, Finland or Sweden, and our network is strongest there. We do work with members elsewhere in Europe — say so in your enquiry and we will tell you honestly how much reach we have in your market.

What does it cost?

The first call is free. After that we work on an advisory retainer, a success fee on a completed transaction, or a co-investment position — decided at stage three and written into the one-page mandate before any work begins.

Is my company too small?

Trade mandates start around €250,000 in annual flow. Below that we will usually point you to a route you can run yourself rather than take a fee for it.

Why do you ask for a CV?

It is optional. Members who upload one get matched faster, because we can see the industries you have worked in rather than only the business you are running now.

Which languages do you work in?

Persian, English, German and Turkish across the partner group. French and Swedish through our local associates.

Next step

Stage one takes about four minutes.
