Know your supplier before you pay. Factory verification on the ground.
The Problem
You’re sending money to someone you’ve never met — and you can’t verify a thing.
Trading Company, Not Factory
The 'factory' on Alibaba might be a trading company. You think you're dealing direct, but there's a middleman marking up.
Blind Payment Risk
Sending money to someone you've never met. No verification, no recourse, no idea if they can actually deliver.
Empty Promises
Factories say whatever you want to hear. Yes we can, yes we have, yes we will — until the order goes wrong.
No Licenses/Certifications
Many factories can't legally export. You find out when your shipment is stuck in customs — and it's too late.
What's Included
Factory Visit
We go to the factory in person. Photos, video, and a walk-through of the production floor — not a desk check.
Business License Check
We verify the business license, registration, and legal status. Is it a factory or a trading company? You'll know.
Production Capacity Audit
We audit the production line, capacity, and equipment. Can they actually handle your order volume? We verify.
Export License Verification
We check if they can legally export. No surprises at customs — we verify the export license before you pay.
Photo/Video Report
You receive a detailed photo and video report — the factory, the team, the production line, the warehouse.
Risk Assessment
We assess the risk: capacity, quality, reliability, legal status. A clear go or no-go recommendation.
How It Works
1. Share Supplier Info
Send us the supplier's name, website, or Alibaba link. We take it from there.
2. We Visit the Factory
We go in person. Walk the floor, check the equipment, meet the team, take photos and video.
3. Audit Report
You receive a full audit report — business license, production capacity, equipment, quality systems.
4. Risk Assessment
We assess the overall risk: can they deliver, can they export, are they reliable? Clear rating and explanation.
5. Go/No-Go Decision
You get a clear recommendation — proceed, proceed with conditions, or walk away. The decision is yours, but informed.
Ongoing Monitoring
After approval, we can monitor production quality and capacity on an ongoing basis — so the supplier stays reliable.
