Supplier management
Know exactly who you’re buying from.
Verification, factory audits and background checks that separate real manufacturers from risky middlemen — before you send a deposit.
Three levels of due diligence
From a quick check to a full on-site audit
Supplier Verification
Desk-based check using official Chinese government records.
- Business license & registered capital
- Legal representative and shareholders
- Export rights and scope of business

- Certificates authenticity check
Factory Audit
An auditor visits the factory to assess what it can really do.
- Equipment and production lines
- Capacity and current workload
- Quality management system
- R&D and engineering capability
- Photo and video evidence
Background Check
Deeper investigation for large orders or long-term partners.
- Litigation and court records
- Credit and tax standing
- Related companies and ownership
- Trade references
- Social compliance (BSCI / SMETA style)
Red flags we look for
Most supplier problems are visible before you pay.
We have seen the patterns behind failed orders — and we check for them on every supplier we recommend.
Address mismatch
Registered address differs from the “factory” shown on video calls.
Payment to personal accounts
Requests to pay a private or offshore bank account.
Fake certificates
Certificates that can’t be verified with the issuing body.
Unrealistic lead times
Promises that don’t match capacity or current workload.
