GSW Certified IMEX Broker "Valerie"
has a regional sporting goods chain store in her
client list. After a poor snow season the chain
has a large quantity of ski boots left in stock
that they have to liquidate immediately. They
ask Valerie for a solution. Valerie sends a complete
description of the inventory to a GSW Dealmaker
who returns a purchase proposal to her. Valerie
sends the proposal on her company letterhead and
arranges the deal. GSW purchases the ski boots
and then lists in the GSW Product Locator. This
is a Shared Equity deal with GSW and below is
how Valerie is paid.

Note: In a Shared Equity Transaction GSW puts
up all capital, takes physical inventory of the
product and assumes all risks. The Broker who
brings the deal to GSW, in this case, Valerie,
receives 50% of GSW' profit no matter who sells
the merchandise. This seasonal merchandise was
sold to 2 separate retail stores, one in South
America, the other in New Zealand, both in the
Southern Hemisphere where the seasons are reversed.
GSW Certified IMEX Broker "Alejandro's"
client requests a line of vitamins and supplements
made to their specifications with their store
name on the label. Alejandro uses the GSW Manufacturer
Locator to submit his client's specs and receives
several pricing proposals. He marks up the proposals
8% and submits the figures to his buyer. The buyer
negotiates the price down to yield a 6.5% profit
margin and places an initial order of $31,300.
Alejandro
earns $2034.50 (6.5%X$31,300 = $2034.50)
