Trust Center

How FishMatch Group earns trust in aquaculture procurement.

This page is maintained by FishMatch Group to summarize how our platform operates, what commitments we make to buyers and suppliers, and where to find the underlying legal policies. It is not an independent certification.

Independent Procurement Platform

FishMatch Group is not a manufacturer, distributor, EPC contractor or lender. We support buyers with structured planning, supplier discovery and private procurement preparation for commercial aquaculture — without acting as a party to any supply, EPC, logistics or financing contract.

Supplier Qualification — Meaning & Limits

Qualification is a documentary review based on supplier-provided and publicly available information. It is not certification, audit, endorsement or a guarantee of quality, delivery or performance. Buyer due diligence always applies.

What qualification means

Aquaculture & RAS Expertise

Dedicated coverage of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), pond and cage operations, water treatment, oxygenation, biofiltration, monitoring, automation, feed handling and cold-chain — mapped to the specific procurement stage of your project.

Transparency FAQ

What FishMatch does — and explicitly does not do.

FishMatch Group is an independent B2B procurement and sourcing platform for commercial aquaculture projects from USD $250K+, managing outreach on buyers' behalf to qualified third-party equipment suppliers, EPC partners, engineering firms and independent financing providers.

Does FishMatch verify or guarantee suppliers?

No. FishMatch performs a documentary qualification review based on information supplied by the supplier and information available publicly. It is not an audit, inspection, certification or endorsement, and it is not a guarantee of quality, capacity, lead time, delivery, warranty performance or financial standing. Buyer due diligence always applies.

What does 'qualified supplier' mean on FishMatch?

It means the supplier passed the documentary qualification review for the relevant category and market and agreed to answer structured RFQs using a common response template. It does not mean the supplier is certified, ranked, endorsed or guaranteed by FishMatch.

Does FishMatch provide financing?

No. FishMatch prepares procurement projects and makes no credit decision, pre-approval, offer, underwriting or recommendation. Any possible introduction needs separate recipient-specific recorded consent, provider confirmation and local legal review. No automatic sharing or guaranteed availability. Referral, packaging and compensation need local counsel review; this page does not decide regulatory status.

Is FishMatch an EPC contractor or an equipment supplier?

No. FishMatch is an independent B2B procurement and sourcing platform. It does not manufacture, distribute or resell equipment, does not act as an EPC contractor, and does not build, install, engineer, commission, operate or manage farms. Turnkey scopes are delivered by independent third-party EPC and supplier partners contracting directly with the buyer.

Is FishMatch a party to supply, EPC or financing contracts?

No. All contracts are concluded directly between the buyer and the independent third-party supplier, EPC partner, logistics provider or financing provider. Those parties are solely responsible for pricing, scope, delivery, performance, warranties and approval decisions.

Does FishMatch guarantee production, biological or financial results?

No. Calculators, planners, cost benchmarks and market data on this site are indicative planning aids based on public and industry sources. Actual biological performance, CAPEX, OPEX, yields and returns depend on site conditions, design, management and market prices, and require site-specific engineering and independent verification.

What project size does FishMatch work on?

FishMatch focuses on commercial aquaculture projects from USD $250K+ in equipment or CAPEX scope, including RAS facilities, fish and shrimp farms, hatcheries, water treatment, aeration, feeding, monitoring, cages, pond systems, processing and cold chain.

How is FishMatch paid, and do buyers pay anything?

Buyers are never charged. Suppliers cannot pay for placement, ranking or preferential matching.

Can a supplier pay to appear first?

No. FishMatch does not publish rankings and does not sell placement. Matching is driven by project scope, species, capacity class, market coverage and service reach.

How is buyer information handled?

Customer, supplier, RFQ and project information — including documents in private project rooms — is confidential: it is not published, not publicly disclosed and not used for marketing. Access is limited to authorised FishMatch personnel and service providers who need it for the service you requested, or where the law requires it. Supplier identities are not shown to buyers on the platform, and buyer contact details go only to a party you choose to engage. See the Privacy Policy for data-processing details and your rights.

What happens if a supplier underperforms?

Buyers can report issues to FishMatch. Suppliers may be suspended or removed from matching for misrepresentation, non-response, refusal to disclose scope exclusions or repeated unresolved complaints. Removal is a commercial matching decision, not a legal or regulatory finding, and contractual remedies remain between buyer and supplier.

Who operates FishMatch Group?

FishMatch Group is the specialized aquaculture platform of Global B2B Group, operated from the Republic of Cyprus. Identifying information and governing law are published on the Legal Notice page.
