Send the range.
Get a straight answer.
If you manufacture equipment for vehicles and you want it sold in France, this is the shortest route to finding out whether Albert-Invest would take it to market. It costs you a list and an opening price.
What to send
The range
The references you want moved. Part numbers, and vehicle fitment where you have it. If the fitment data is thin or out of date, say so. Building it is part of the work and we would rather know up front than discover it later.
An opening price
What a first order would cost, and at what volume. Not a final price and not a negotiation. A starting number tells us whether a channel can be built on it at all. Without one there is nothing to assess.
The market
Which country you want to move into first, and whether you already sell there through anyone. If you have a distributor in place, that changes the answer, and we need to know before we start.
What comes back
A written answer, from the people who would operate it. [[A CONFIRMER — Auguste : delai de reponse annonce]]
It says one of three things.
- Yes
- The group would build the channel for this range, and here is what the first phase looks like: which references go first, which vehicles they are matched to, and what has to be true for it to work.
- Not yet
- The range is right but something is missing — coverage, price, stock depth, data. We say which one, and what would have to change.
- No
- We would not sell this, and why. That is the answer most manufacturers never get, because nobody is paid to give it.
What we do with what you send
The list is used to assess the range. It is not shown to anyone outside the group, it is not resold, and your prices are not shopped around to compare them against someone else’s.
Commercial terms are settled in conversation, not on a website. This page exists to get to that conversation faster, and to make sure it starts from something concrete rather than from a slide.
Who this is not for
Distributors
We are not looking to take on someone else’s brand as a reseller. The range has to be yours.
Companies raising money
Albert-Invest funds its own launches from its own capital. It does not invest in other companies. More on that here.
Anyone wanting a proposal first
We do not write proposals before seeing a range and a price. There is nothing honest to put in one.
