Get verified and explore the workflow end to end.
Verified counterparties
Every company on Ryken is checked before it can transact, so the businesses you deal with are real, owned by who they claim, and clear of sanctions.
- Third-party KYB/KYC on every applicant
- Company registry, beneficial ownership, and sanctions screening
- Trade history review where available
- Roughly one in five applicants accepted
- A verification badge on every approved profile
Direct sourcing and negotiation
Post what you need and deal directly with the people who can agree terms. No intermediaries between you and the counterparty.
- Post detailed RFQs (product, grade, volume, Incoterms, destination, target price)
- Receive proformas from multiple verified suppliers
- Negotiate directly through secure in-platform chat
- Share documents and samples in one place
- A clean, structured record of every conversation and agreement
Real market pricing and genuine choice
Competition is built into the workflow. You see where the market sits and choose from real options rather than accepting a single broker’s price.
- Multiple competitive quotes against every requirement
- Side-by-side comparison of price and terms
- Direct pricing without inflated intermediary margins
- The freedom to negotiate to where you want to be, or close to it
Independent escrow and milestone payments
Funds are protected and move only as the deal progresses, so neither side carries the full risk.
- Funds held by an independent regulated escrow provider
- Custom milestone schedules rather than all or nothing
- Manual release on proof of delivery, or automatic release on agreed milestones
- A default auto-release window after delivery for completed obligations
- Full visibility of where funds sit at every stage
Inspections and logistics, built in
Bring quality verification and freight into the same workflow rather than chasing separate quotes.
- Optional integration with SGS, Bureau Veritas, and Intertek for quality and quantity checks
- Trusted freight forwarder integrations
- Optional cargo insurance
- Inspection reports attached directly to the transaction
Structured disputes and clear governance
When something goes wrong, the process is defined in advance, evidence-based, and grounded in a clear jurisdiction.
- A structured, evidence-based dispute process
- Document and evidence upload
- Neutral resolution
- Governed by English law and arbitration-friendly
