Escrow Services

International cross border transactions can be difficult operations when there is no practical way to verify the performance of one party or another in a reasonable time frame and when a certain number of obligations need to be fulfilled before a payment is released.

It ensures transactions are more secure by holding the funds in a secure escrow account which is only released when the terms of the agreement are met as overseen by the escrow company. Rosemont provides escrow services and can maintaing neutrality - which is essential to gaining the trust and confidence of all parties; each party must feel represented, with no surprises or perceptions of unfair treatment.

Major risks are categorized by environmental damage, human intervention and falling foul of legal pitfalls with certain cultural objects.
