Supplier Due Diligence:
Know Who You Are Paying
Know exactly who you are dealing with before you send that deposit. We verify Chinese suppliers — their documents, their factories, and their track records — so you get the truth without learning the hard way.
Who Needs Due Diligence?
Due diligence isn't for everyone. It is for businesses that cannot afford a six-figure mistake.
You Found a Supplier Online
Alibaba Gold Supplier? That costs $2,999 a year, not a factory visit. We verify whether there is an actual production line behind the profile picture, or just a trading company with a good web designer.
Your Gut Says Something is Off
Their quote is 30% below market. They demand 70% upfront. The company name on the license doesn't match the invoice. We tell you if it's a cultural difference or a calculated scam.
You Are Scaling Up
A $5,000 trial order going wrong is annoying. A $50,000 production order going to a factory that is three months behind on rent is a disaster. Let us run a baseline check before you scale.
What We Actually Check
Triple verification. No fluff, just the facts that matter when real money is on the line.
Paper Verification
What the government records say. We check if they are legally allowed to produce and export what they are selling you.
- Business license authenticity
- Registered capital & declared size
- Court records & enforcement actions
- Import/Export license verification
Physical Audit
What the factory actually looks like. We visit the site — unannounced when appropriate — to get you real evidence, not stock photos.
- Factory floor & equipment photos
- Inventory & raw material checks
- Capacity & production line assessment
- Management interview evaluation
The Red Flag Report
We don't write 40-page reports nobody reads. We give you a clear, actionable assessment based on our findings.
- Pass / Caution / Walk Away rating
- Specific risk items & evidence
- Recommendations in plain English
- Complete photo & video evidence pack
What We Don't Do
Being honest about our limitations is how we earn your trust. We know what we are good at, and we do not pretend to be something we are not.
✕ Legal Advice
We can spot red flags, but we are not lawyers. For complex contract disputes or Chinese court litigation, we will connect you with a qualified law firm—but the legal advice comes from them, not us.
✕ Certified ESG Audits
We check if a factory has basic permits and acceptable conditions. But we don't do certified SMETA or BSCI audits. If your retail buyer requires those, we'll help you find an accredited auditor.
✕ Guaranteed Outcomes
No one can guarantee a supplier will never fail. We guarantee we will look at what you asked us to look at, report honestly, and tell you if you should walk away. The final decision is yours.
