Carbon credit brokering
The right credits, to the right buyer.
We connect holders of issued, verified carbon credits with companies that need them, qualify both sides, and run the commercial process through to transfer. Buyer and seller contract and settle directly; we earn an agreed fee when it completes.
Seller
Holds issued credits
Verified, unused, transferable.
Buyer
Has a requirement
Type, quality, volume, use.
Acquiry
Qualifies, matches and coordinates
Separately agreed fee on completion. Never holds the credits or the money.
Credits move from the seller to the buyer. Payment moves from the buyer directly to the seller. Acquiry qualifies and coordinates both sides and is paid a separately agreed fee when the transaction completes.
The basics
A carbon credit represents one tonne of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent, reduced or removed by a specific project. An independent standard verifies the result and a registry issues the credit with a unique serial number, so it can be tracked, transferred and eventually retired.
Credits are not interchangeable. Project type, standard, methodology and vintage all affect price and whether a credit suits a buyer's policy or intended use. A good match starts with a precise requirement, which is why we qualify both sides before anyone is introduced.
Which side are you on?
Buying credits
A sustainability, procurement or finance team with a defined need: a type of credit, a quality bar, a volume and a reason for buying.
What we help you pin down
Selling credits
A project developer, owner or holder with verified, unused credits in a registry account, looking for a qualified buyer.
What we help you pin down
Suitability
Before an introduction, each of these needs a clear answer. Registration or project capacity alone does not establish available stock.
How an engagement works
What you want to buy or sell, the volume, and the constraints that matter.
Check the credits or the buyer against the points above before anyone is introduced.
Identify counterparties whose requirement and inventory genuinely line up.
Registry records, documentation and, where needed, independent technical or legal review.
Buyer and seller agree price and terms and sign directly with each other.
Payment goes from buyer to seller. Acquiry never holds client funds.
Confirm the registry transfer, or the retirement on the buyer’s behalf where that is the purpose.
Scope and fee agreed before step 2.
Our role
We coordinate the transaction. Where a deal needs technical verification, legal or tax input, we bring in independent specialists, agreed with you in advance. Scope and fees are confirmed in writing before we proceed, and eligibility and applicable requirements are checked for every engagement.

Questions
Credits that are already issued, verified by a recognised standard, unused and transferable. That covers most voluntary-market standards and some compliance-eligible units. Whether a particular batch suits a particular buyer is checked case by case.
Yes. Buyers and sellers are often in different countries. Registry rules, host-country authorisation and local requirements are checked for each transaction before terms are agreed.
Sellers: registry account details, serial numbers, issuance and verification records, and proof of ownership. Buyers: a clear specification, intended use and the internal approvals needed to sign. We will tell you exactly what applies once we understand the requirement.
Fees are agreed in writing before any work begins and are usually payable when a transaction completes. There is no fixed published rate: it depends on volume, complexity and which side we act for.
No. This service deals in credits that already exist. Financing a project that will generate credits in the future is a different transaction with different risks. If that is what you need, talk to us about our capital advisory instead.
Not on its own. Any claim you make depends on your own emissions accounting, the credits you choose and the rules of the framework or scheme you report under. Your advisers should confirm what a purchase supports.
Registration or projected capacity is not the same as available stock. Credits can be offered once they have been verified and issued into an account you control. We are happy to talk earlier so you know what buyers will expect.
Tell us which side you are on, the volume and the type of credit. We will come back with whether we can help and what we would need to see.
