A TTM, or Table Top Meeting, is a commercial meeting arranged between relevant parties in a commodity transaction. It may involve buyers, sellers, mandates, intermediaries, facilitators and transaction coordinators.
Purpose of a TTM
The purpose is to clarify transaction procedures, verify roles, discuss documentation flow and confirm whether both sides are commercially aligned before moving forward.
What to Prepare
- Company profile
- Authorisation or mandate documents, where applicable
- Product requirement or product offer
- Draft procedure
- Proof of capability, where appropriate
- Questions on payment terms, delivery terms and documentation
Important Reminder
A TTM does not automatically mean the deal is confirmed. It is not a replacement for due diligence, legal review, banking verification or final contract execution.
