Factory audit and counterparty checks
The most expensive mistake in importing is not the wrong item but a deposit paid to the wrong legal entity. A check costs a fraction of a percent of the contract and is ordered on its own — we do not have to carry the cargo as well.
This is a capability in its own right, not an add-on to our supplies. You may have found the plant yourself, you may run the contract yourself and ship with your own carrier: the check is ordered on its own and the result stays with you whoever ends up supplying. It answers the two questions a buyer asks at once: can this plant do what it promises, and is it safe to pay this legal entity. We review available information on the company, cross-check it against the documents supplied and, where needed, visit the site. The report records sources, the date of the check, discrepancies found and its limitations — it does not replace a guarantee that the deal will be performed.
What it solves
- The counterparty was found independently, the contract is on the table, the deposit has not left yet.
- The bank details do not match the company in the contract.
- It is unclear whether the supplier has production of its own.
- You need to know whether the company has had disputes with other buyers.
What we supply

- Signatory, authority and consistency of details across documents

Risks we remove
- A deposit to a third-party account: found by matching the bank details.

- A company younger than the deal: found in the registration data.
