Business Background Verification
Before Signing, See Clearly Your Chinese Partner
Lightweight Investigation, Front-loaded Risk Control
Why Background Verification is Needed
Before investing significant capital and time, understanding the true status of potential partners is crucial. We help you answer three core questions: Does this company exist? Is it operating legally? Is it trustworthy?

Different from high-cost comprehensive due diligence, our background verification service is positioned as a "preliminary screening tool", aiming to quickly identify obvious risks at extremely low cost. It does not replace deep due diligence, but helps you judge whether due diligence is needed.

Representative Cases
Saudi Buyer Avoids Million-Dollar Contract Fraud
Challenge:
Challenge: Saudi client contacted a Chinese supplier claiming to have export qualifications through a B2B platform, with extremely competitive pricing. The client requested us to verify the company's background before paying the deposit.
Our Findings:
Our Findings: After investigation, the supplier's business license was authentic, but their social security contribution count was 0, the registered address was a virtual affiliated address, and the legal representative had two other companies that had been deregistered. Site visit found the address was a business secretary company with no actual office personnel.
Result:
Result: Based on our report, the client terminated the cooperation plan with the supplier and turned to another factory with verified complete qualifications, avoiding potential losses of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Verifying Agent Qualifications to Avoid Multiple Agency
Challenge:
Challenge: Saudi client planned to entrust a Chinese trading company as its exclusive procurement agent in China. The other party claimed to have agency rights for multiple international brands.
Our Findings:
Our Findings: After verification, the company's business scope did not include 'as intermediary or agent' related permits, and multiple trademarks found in the National Intellectual Property Administration database were highly relevant to the client's industry, suggesting 'trademark squatting' suspicion.
Result:
Result: Based on the report information, the client questioned the agent's qualifications and ultimately did not sign an exclusive agreement, but chose to establish contact directly with multiple factories.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:What's the difference between this background verification service and legal due diligence?
The main difference lies in 'depth' and 'scope'. Background verification is a lightweight, standardized, low-cost preliminary screening, focusing on public information and basic fact verification, without in-depth legal analysis of contract terms, transaction structures, potential liabilities, etc. It is suitable as a preliminary screening tool. If the report finds significant doubts, we will recommend you to initiate formal due diligence.
Q:Do I need to come to China in person to cooperate with the investigation?
Absolutely not. All verification work is completed by us within China. You only need to provide basic information of the target company through email or online form, and subsequent report delivery and interpretation support online completion.
Q:Will the report include financial data of the other party's company?
No. Real financial data belongs to non-public information and is not within the scope of this service. This service focuses on business registration, judicial, credit, operating status and other information that can be publicly queried or verified through site visits.
Q:Can you guarantee complete accuracy and completeness of information?
We commit to using official and authoritative channels for verification and truthfully reflecting the information obtained. However, investigations based on public information and personal observation have limitations (such as lag in certain litigation information, site visits only reflecting conditions at that time). We do not guarantee discovery of all issues. The report will clearly mark the specific source of each piece of information for your own judgment.
Q:How long does it take to receive the report?
Standard service issues the report within 3-5 business days after receiving clear engagement and necessary information. If urgent expedited service or deep verification involving multiple regions and related parties is needed, the time will be extended, and specific fees will be negotiated separately.
Q:How do you charge?
We adopt a flat-rate model: single enterprise background verification report starts at $500 USD. If involving multiple related enterprises or requiring offline visit services, fees will be negotiated separately. Please confirm fees before engagement.
