■ What we check

What's included

Data comes from the official PRC company registry — and we explain it in plain language, not word for word.

01

Registration & status

Is the company active, when was it set up, is it being wound up.

02

Factory or trader

Industry, business scope and address show whether there is real production behind it.

03

Capital & scale

Registered and actually paid-in capital, number of insured employees.

04

Export rights

Can the company ship abroad itself, or will it go through third parties.

05

Legal representative & owners

Who signs for the company and who owns it — the party to your contract.

06

Match with your contract

Do the name, address and details match your contract, invoice and Alibaba page.

Our verdict

Not just a table in Chinese — we tell you what it means for you.

  • This is a trading company, not a factory. Industry is trade, and the scope covers everything from tools to stationery.
  • No production at this address. A residential block in a village, 11 people on staff.
  • The company is real and active since 2018 and has export rights.
What to do: if it calls itself a “factory” on Alibaba, you are paying a middleman margin. Ask for the plant’s contacts, or we find the manufacturer directly.

■ FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I check just one company?

Yes. The price is the same — ¥500 per request covering up to three companies. Handy for comparing two or three suppliers.

What should I send?

Any of: company name in Chinese or English, an Alibaba / 1688 / website link, the 18-character USCC code from the contract or invoice.

Is it credited if I then order a supply?

Yes. If you then order sourcing or a supply from us, the ¥500 is credited towards it.

How is this different from supplier sourcing?

A check is for when you already have a supplier and need to know whether it is safe to pay. Sourcing is when we find and audit factories on site ourselves.

Is the report available in Russian?

Yes — reports come in English or Russian.
