Explain where you sit in the chain

A broker may be mistaken for the grower, warehouse operator or buyer. A Tap Tap Go profile can describe the intermediary role, relevant product categories and suitable business contacts. This allows a new connection to ask informed questions before exchanging detailed specifications or commercially sensitive information.

Keep introductions distinct from verification

General sourcing material can support orientation, but it should not imply that a particular crop, quantity or contract has been checked. Use the profile to establish the conversation’s purpose. Verification, inspection and contractual arrangements remain separate activities handled through the appropriate parties and processes.

Imagine this

A hypothetical scene

A hypothetical grain broker meets a food producer seeking a new supply relationship. The profile explains the broker’s coordination role and enquiry route. They exchange general requirements, then arrange the detailed checks needed before any commercial commitment.

Make it practical.

Use this checklist as you read. Checks are not stored.
