Who this is for
Overseas buyers, importers and brands considering a new Chinese supplier, or trying to understand whether the contract, invoice and bank details refer to the same entity.
What we look at
- The company’s Chinese legal name and registration identifier, where available.
- Registration status and basic corporate particulars in the sources covered by the agreed scope.
- Differences between the named company, trading name and documents supplied to you.
- Identified concerns, missing information and points that need clarification before the transaction proceeds.
What you receive
An English summary identifying the entity checked, the sources and date of the checks, relevant findings and their limitations. Questions for the counterparty and suggested follow-up checks are included where appropriate. A record that was unavailable or inconclusive is identified as such.
What to prepare
Start by emailing the company name, website and reason for the check. After the initial fit check, we may request the Chinese business licence, quotation, contract, invoice and payment instructions. Do not send bank passwords or unnecessary personal information.
What is not included
This is not a factory inspection, quality audit, credit rating, full financial due diligence or guarantee of legitimacy, solvency or performance. Bank-account ownership verification, beneficial-ownership investigation and litigation or enforcement-record searches are included only if expressly agreed and available. Registration alone does not establish that a supplier can deliver.
How to start
Email a short overview before committing to a defined check. The entities, sources, reporting format, exclusions, fee and expected delivery date are confirmed before engagement. If a payment is imminent, include its proposed date; an enquiry does not mean the transaction has been cleared.
