Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before placing your first order with Troven.

Getting Started

Before You Order

What exactly does Troven do?+

Troven is a sourcing-and-supply intermediary. We find the best supplier for what you need, coordinate delivery, supervise any service work, and handle all the documentation - so you deal with one professional partner instead of multiple vendors.

Who do you work with?+

We work exclusively with institutions - NGOs, international organisations, government bodies, schools, corporates, and UN agencies. We don't serve individual retail customers.

Is there a minimum order size?+

No strict minimum. We handle orders of all sizes. For best pricing on bulk categories like grocery and cleaning materials, larger volumes help - but we won't turn away a smaller order.

Are you registered and compliant?+

Yes. Troven Enterprises - SMC Ltd is registered with URSB, holds a KCCA trading licence, is TIN registered with URA, and is registered on the PPDA supplier portal. All documentation is available on request.
