Most sourcing problems trace back to the first decision: which factory to trust. Anyone can put together a nice-looking website and quote a good price over email. What that doesn’t tell you is whether they actually own the equipment, whether they subcontract your order to someone else without telling you, or whether they can hit your spec at the volume you need. We find and verify suppliers in person, not from a directory listing, so you know exactly who you’re working with before you send a deposit.
If you already have a supplier you’re unsure about, we can check them too. Either way, the goal is the same: you make a sourcing decision based on what’s actually true, not on what a sales rep told you on a call.
Frequently Asked Questions
Work with someone who visits on your behalf and verifies the business license, factory address, and production floor directly. Online reviews and a good-looking website cannot confirm any of this. A local visit within the first two weeks of contact is the best way to rule out a trading company posing as a factory.
A factory owns and operates its own production equipment and workers. A trading company sources from factories on your behalf and adds a markup, often without disclosing it. Both can be useful, but you should know which one you are dealing with before you negotiate price.
A focused search with in-person verification typically takes three to six weeks, depending on product complexity and how many candidates need factory visits. Simple, common products move faster than technical or highly regulated ones.
Yes, but your options narrow. Many larger factories set minimum order quantities that rule out small brands, so the search has to focus on mid-size or smaller factories willing to work at your volume, which takes more legwork to find.
