Supplier verification
Before you send money to a factory you have never met, confirm the company is real, the site exists, and the capability claims hold up.
What we verify
Six areas, each documented with evidence you can keep on file.
Business licence, registration number and legal representative checked against official and third-party registry sources.
Confirmation the site exists at the stated address, with photos, video and location evidence rather than a document scan.
Whether the counterparty actually makes the product or resells it, and whether subcontracting is involved.
Equipment, headcount, capacity and export experience assessed against your product and order volume.
Quality management documentation, product test reports, product compliance for your market and social compliance records.
Export history, customer references, and a check for disputes, blacklists or other adverse records.
How it works
Four steps from first contact to a decision.
Company name, address, website and your product. No contract or long onboarding.
Documentary review plus an on-site or remote visit, depending on the package you choose.
Findings with evidence and a risk summary you can file and share internally.
Renegotiate, require corrective action, order a full audit, or walk away.

Frequently asked questions
Verification confirms who the supplier is and whether the basic claims hold up: registration, site, capability and documentation. An audit is a deeper on-site assessment of processes, quality control and compliance against a standard such as BSCI or SMETA. Verification is faster and cheaper. An audit goes further.
Documentary verification usually completes within a few business days. Packages that include an on-site visit take longer, depending on location and scheduling.
You get the evidence and a risk summary, so you can renegotiate terms, require corrective action, commission a full audit, or stop before any payment is released.
No. Verification stands alone. Inspection, sourcing and freight are optional next steps, not a bundle you are locked into.
