Frequently Asked Questions

We are registered in the DMCC free zone in Dubai, UAE, under Trade Licence No. DMCC-994640 and Registration No. DMCC203344. Our registered office is Unit 3O-01-4768, DMCC Business Centre, Level 1, Jewellery & Gemplex 3, Dubai, UAE. The DMCC jurisdiction gives us a stable, well-regulated base from which to build trading and investment activity across the region.

ISRA is founder-led and controlled by its two co-founders: Nedal M. (Investment Strategy, Risk & Technology) and Abdullojon R. (Commercial Operations & Regional Markets). Regional energy experience and investment discipline sit in one room, close to every decision.

Our current licensed energy focus is the trading of refined petroleum products abroad, and this is where we are concentrating our early work. LPG and propane-butane are a targeted, forward-looking area that draws on our founders' experience; any activity there would be pursued subject to the appropriate licensing. Our DMCC licence also covers chemical fertilisers, ghee and vegetable oil, and flour trading, giving us defined room to develop over time.

The UAE is our base, and our regional focus spans Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and the wider Central Asia region, with selective international activity. We are developing an understanding of the logistics corridors that connect regional supply to Gulf and international demand. Our objective is to work along the Central Asia–Gulf corridor with the depth our founders bring to these markets.

We are building compliance into our foundations rather than adding it later. Our processes are designed around KYC, sanctions screening, and clear governance from the outset, and we intend to apply them consistently to every counterparty. Our aim is to give banks and partners confidence that screening and due diligence are part of how we work, not an afterthought.

We treat counterparty risk as central to every decision. Our approach is to assess each potential relationship through careful screening and due diligence, and to favour measured, well-documented decisions over activity for its own sake. Alongside counterparty risk, we design our thinking around price and basis risk, structure, and netback, applying the same rigour an investor applies to capital.

We are designing our operations to work constructively with banks and trade-finance providers, and we recognise that clear governance, documentation, and screening are what those relationships require. As our activity develops, our intention is to engage financing partners whose standards align with our own. We are building our processes so that the information and controls a financing partner expects are in place.

We are developing technology-supported analysis, including applied artificial intelligence, to inform pricing, counterparty screening, and risk assessment. Our aim is to make trading decisions more transparent and more consistent. Technology supports our judgement; it does not replace it, and our founders remain responsible for every decision.

We are in early operational setup, putting our governance, processes, and relationships in place. We are targeting our first trading activity in 2026, and discussions with potential counterparties are ongoing. We would rather build carefully and deliberately at this stage than move faster than our controls allow.

Suppliers, buyers, and financing partners are welcome to reach us through our contact page at /contact.html or by email at info@israfzco.com. We approach each potential relationship through careful counterparty screening and due diligence, and we intend to grow our network deliberately as our activity develops. We are glad to open a conversation with counterparties whose standards and governance align with our own.
