Every year, thousands of businesses lose money to Chinese supplier fraud. Don't become another statistic.
You visit an impressive showroom in Guangzhou, sign contracts, wire a $50,000 deposit... only to discover the "factory" is a rented warehouse with no production capabilities. Your contact disappears with your money.
That "manufacturer" with 500 workers and state-of-the-art equipment? They're actually a 3-person trading company marking up prices by 40% and outsourcing to unknown workshops with zero quality control.
The supplier claims they produce for Nike and Apple. Six months later, your container arrives with defective products because they subcontracted to an unqualified factory without telling you.
Everything checks out online. Production starts smoothly. Then your supplier suddenly declares bankruptcy, keeping your molds, inventory, and deposit. You discover they had massive debts you could have uncovered.

One-time investment
Our standard turnaround time is 72 hours from the moment we receive your supplier information. This allows our analysts sufficient time to conduct thorough research across multiple databases, verify information through our network, and compile a comprehensive report.
If we cannot locate sufficient information about your supplier, this is actually valuable intelligence - it often indicates the company is either very new, operating under a different name, or potentially fraudulent. In rare cases where we cannot complete a meaningful report, we provide a full refund. However, in 95% of cases, the absence of information itself provides critical insights for your decision-making.
We stand behind our research quality. If our report contains factual errors or fails to include the standard verification points we promise, we'll either conduct additional research at no charge or provide a full refund. However, we cannot offer refunds simply because the findings aren't what you hoped to hear - negative findings often provide the most valuable protection.
Our reports synthesize data from official Chinese government databases, business registries, and verified industry sources. We cross-reference all critical information through multiple channels. While no due diligence can guarantee 100% accuracy (companies can change quickly), our multi-source verification process ensures the highest possible reliability. We clearly indicate the source and verification date for all key data points.
Absolutely. We maintain strict confidentiality protocols. Your supplier will never know you've ordered a verification report. All client information is encrypted and stored securely. Our analysts sign non-disclosure agreements, and we never share, sell, or reuse client data. Your competitive advantage stays protected.
While anyone can Google a Chinese company name, meaningful due diligence requires access to Chinese-language databases, understanding of Chinese business structures, and the ability to interpret local business documents. Our analysts access subscription-only databases, court records, and regulatory filings not indexed by search engines. More importantly, we know which red flags to look for and can spot discrepancies that automated translations miss.
