01
Mandate and representation
We act under mandate from the producers and refiners we represent. Each party deals with one identified counterpart, accountable for the conduct of the transaction rather than for an introduction alone.
Exclusive mandate · Yaoundé, Cameroon
One mandated counterparty between international refiners and qualified buyers
Société Carole Business SARL brings international refiners and producers together with buyers of refined petroleum products. One accountable point of contact, a transaction framework that can be read end to end, and compliance requirements that are never deferred.
Exclusive Mandate of International Energy Refineries and Producers
Our role
A single intermediary, accountable from end to end
Energy trading rarely suffers from a shortage of participants. It suffers from their proliferation. SCBS holds a mandated position that reduces a transaction to a short, verifiable chain.
02
Refined product trading
Gasoil, fuel oil, kerosene, jet fuel and gasoline. Transactions follow the incoterms and established practices of international trade, within a contractual framework agreed with the parties.
03
Sequencing and coordination
Qualification of the parties, documentary framing, logistics and port coordination: we hold the order of steps and ensure that none begins before the previous one is settled.
CB+
Temporary business grouping
The capability of a grouping, the accountability of a single company
CB+ brings together, around Société Carole Business, partners with complementary capabilities for the conduct of petroleum trading operations. SCBS is its lead company: it carries the relationship, holds the common timetable and commits the grouping before its counterparties.
What the grouping brings together
- Sourcing. Access to production and refining capacity, and qualification of offers before anything is presented.
- Technical support. Verification of product specifications and execution conditions, from loading through to delivery.
- Financial structuring. Framing of the settlement mechanisms customary in international trade, with the competent institutions.
The role of SCBS as lead company
- Coordination. It sequences the members' contributions and holds the common timetable of the operation.
- Centralisation. Correspondence, documents and decisions pass through a single point: no parallel channel takes hold.
- Representation. It speaks for the grouping before counterparties and the competent authorities.

The internal governance of the grouping and its contractual terms remain confidential. They are disclosed only to counterparties engaged in a formal due diligence process.
Compliance
Four requirements that are not open to negotiation
A serious counterparty is not looking for speed at any cost. It is looking for the certainty of dealing with identified parties, within a framework that withstands scrutiny.
Know your customer
Identification and verification of the parties, their representatives and their ultimate beneficial owners before any commitment is made.
Anti-money laundering
AML and CFT vigilance applied to the source of funds, the economic rationale of the transaction and the profile of those involved.
Professional discretion
Information entrusted to SCBS circulates only among those who need to know it, and only for as long as the transaction requires.
Due diligence
Documentary verification proportionate to the transaction, carried out before any binding step rather than after the fact.
