Human resources
Global Work Ready
Recruitment, training, certification and international placement of Ivorian workers. When a file calls for trained teams or verified profiles, this is the service that steps in.
The group
One registered company, two operating services
GK General Merchant is the entity registered in Côte d’Ivoire that signs all of the group’s contracts. It has its own business — to study, to introduce, to represent — and draws on two services that execute: Global Work Ready for human resources, GK General Shop for sourcing and logistics.
Company
GK General Merchant
Brand representative, specialist in market entry and market research.
The company works with small and mid-sized businesses from Europe, Türkiye, Asia, North Africa and Nigeria, as well as with export promotion agencies and diaspora entrepreneurs. It sells neither goods on its own account nor isolated introductions: it sells expertise and a local presence, under contract.

Leadership
Peter Junior Osarogiagbon
Managing Director
“Our clients are not buying a promise: they are buying a registered local partner who reports back.”
Managing Director and signatory of the group’s contracts, Mr Osarogiagbon leads the first conversations with foreign companies and remains the direct contact of the brands we represent. He runs the company from Abidjan.
The group’s services
Two delivery capabilities, two websites
Each of these services has its own business and its own website. From this corporate site we present only the principle and the link.
Sourcing and logistics
GK General Shop
Wholesale sourcing from factories and wholesalers in Türkiye and China, with no stock held and quotations within 72 hours. This service takes over when a market entry requires a logistics set-up.
Our charter
Six rules we apply to every file
They are not decorative: they decide what we accept and what we turn down.
01
One brand per category and per territory
We never represent two competing brands on the same territory, and we declare any potential conflict of interest before signing.
02
No hidden commission
Any payment received from a partner or supplier in connection with an assignment is declared to the client.
03
Confidentiality
Our clients’ information and deliverables are confidential. A confidentiality agreement is signed on request.
04
Sources cited
Our studies cite their sources and draw a clear line between facts, estimates and opinions.
05
Resources, not promises
We do not promise a commercial result. We commit to resources, deliverables and deadlines.
06
Compliance
We comply with Ivorian regulation and with anti-corruption rules. No facilitation payment is ever made on a client’s behalf.
