Frequently asked questions

Questions about china supplier verification.

How can I verify a Chinese supplier?

Start with the supplier's legal company name and registration number, then compare official registration details, business scope, address, documents and online identity. Higher-risk orders may also justify an on-site visit.

How do I check if a Chinese company is legitimate?

A registration record can confirm that a legal entity exists and show its current status, but legitimacy also depends on whether documents, payment details, business activity and supplier claims are consistent.

Can you verify a Chinese business license?

Yes. We can compare a supplier-provided business license with company registration information available from lawful public or authorized sources and flag material inconsistencies.

Should I verify a supplier before sending a deposit?

Independent checks are especially useful before a first payment, large order or supply agreement. Verification reduces uncertainty but cannot guarantee future performance.

What information can be checked?

Depending on availability, checks may cover legal identity, registration status, established date, registered capital, address, business scope, legal representative, ownership signals, website consistency and public risk indicators.
