Assessment:

 

This is an established company that purchases and distributes products outside of South Africa.

 

A trade reference revealed that the company deals up to US$ 1 000 000 at times.

 

There is no bank code as the director was reluctant to assist with details.

 

It is suggested all dealings be secured and lack of financials be borne in mind.
