Compliance

THE PAPERWORK
THAT UNBLOCKS SALES.

Live now

Compliance in wholesale is not a department — it is a set of documents a buyer asks for at the exact moment they are ready to order. Not having one does not lose you a negotiation; it stalls a deal that was already won, which is a far more expensive way to lose it.

The documents almost everyone is asked for

These come up across nearly every category and channel. Each takes days to weeks to obtain and none can be produced on the call where it is requested.

  • W-9 or W-8 — so you can be paid at all
  • Certificate of insurance, naming the buyer where required
  • Resale certificate — the buyer gives you theirs; you give suppliers yours
  • Product certifications specific to the category

Expiry is the failure, not absence

Most operators obtain their documents once and then discover a lapse at the worst possible moment. Insurance renews annually, certifications on their own cycles, and a resale certificate that expired eight months ago exempts nothing — while the seller who relied on it is the one assessed.

What the protocol does

GRAJ records what you hold, computes whether it is currently valid — verified, in the right jurisdiction and unexpired, all three together — and warns before expiry rather than after. Nobody can verify their own document, because a self-verified certificate is a checkbox rather than a record.

What it does not do

It does not issue certificates, does not perform audits and does not file returns. Where a determination is legal rather than factual, it is flagged as one instead of being quietly decided by software.
