Channel Partners

Represent SLS in Your Market. Build Your Business on Ours.

SLS operates through a licensed Channel Partner network — regional logistics specialists and trade professionals who represent SLS procurement and logistics services within exclusive territories, backed by the full SLS infrastructure and institutional brand.

The Model

What Is an SLS Channel Partner?

An SLS Channel Partner is a licensed representative who sells SLS logistics services — primarily China-to-Nigeria procurement — within an exclusive geographic territory. Channel Partners operate as independent businesses but represent SLS to their clients, earning revenue share on every transaction they introduce and manage.

Channel Partners are not resellers. They are active sales and relationship partners — the frontline of the SLS commercial network. They identify importers, introduce them to SLS services, manage the client relationship, and earn a share of every TEU their clients move through the SLS procurement model.

SLS provides the infrastructure, the supplier network, the operations, the documentation, the customs handling, and the brand. Channel Partners provide the local market access and client relationships.

How the Channel Partner Model Works

Apply and Complete Onboarding

Submit your application. Successful applicants go through a structured onboarding programme covering the SLS procurement model, pricing, and compliance.

Receive Your Exclusive Territory

Every Channel Partner operates within an exclusive geographic territory. No other partner competes with you there.

Introduce and Brief Clients

Identify importers in your territory who source from China. Brief them on SLS procurement services and introduce them to your SLS contact.

Earn on Every TEU

You earn a revenue share for every TEU your clients move through SLS. The more volume you generate, the more you earn.

What SLS Channel Partners Receive

Exclusive Territory Rights

Your territory is yours. SLS does not compete with you or license another partner there while your agreement is active.

Revenue Share Per TEU

Every TEU your clients move generates a revenue share. Rates are volume-scalable — the more volume, the stronger your earnings.

Full Operational Backing

The entire SLS infrastructure — supplier network, procurement operations, customs brokerage, transportation, warehousing — is behind every client.

Sales and Marketing Support

SLS provides sales materials, pitch decks, service brochures, pricing frameworks, and marketing support.

Training and Onboarding

Every partner goes through structured onboarding so you can brief clients confidently and accurately.

Dedicated Partner Support

A dedicated SLS partner support contact for escalations, client questions, and operational issues.

Performance and Territory Protection

SLS Channel Partner agreements include performance KPI thresholds — minimum monthly TEU volumes required to maintain territory exclusivity. KPIs are graduated during the ramp-up period to allow time to build your client base. Partners who consistently exceed KPIs are eligible for territory expansion and enhanced revenue share tiers.

We build the model to incentivise performance, not to penalise development. Our Channel Partners' success is SLS's growth.
