Participant role

Non-stocking brokers and agents

Arranges the purchase and sale of used or surplus IT between parties without ever taking title or physical possession. Earns a commission, a spread on a back-to-back trade, or a fee. Value is in the network, the price knowledge and the match, not in inventory.

How this role is defined
Qualifying activities
sourcing equipment to order from a dealer network; placing a seller's surplus with buyers; back-to-back trades where goods ship direct between the counterparties; buy-side or sell-side agency for generators or dealers.
Does not qualify alone
holding stock, which makes it C04; operating a marketplace for others, which makes it a venue.
Boundary vs C04
title plus possession.
Boundary vs V04
a broker participates in dealer networks; the network operator is V04.
Boundary vs E09
E09 advises on programme design and vendor selection, and does not transact.
B2B scope
business-to-business only. Activity sold to individual consumers or households never supports this role; a company serving both is admitted on its business-facing evidence alone, with the consumer channel recorded as an attribute of the company, never as grounds for a role.
