A supplier verification audit is an independent due-diligence investigation that confirms whether a supplier is legitimate, operational, and capable of fulfilling your production requirements. This service is critical when onboarding new suppliers — particularly those found through online marketplaces like Alibaba, Global Sources, or Made-in-China — where the risk of trading companies, middlemen, or fraudulent entities is significant.
Our auditor visits the supplier's claimed factory location to verify that the facility exists, is actively manufacturing, and matches the capabilities presented during sales negotiations. The assessment covers business license and legal registration verification, factory ownership and operational history, actual production equipment and capacity, workforce size and skill level, existing client references, and export documentation capabilities.
Key red flags our auditors look for include mismatched registration and factory addresses, no production equipment on-site (indicating a trading company), reluctance to provide access to production areas, expired or forged certifications, and evidence of undisclosed subcontracting.
The verification report provides a clear, evidence-based recommendation on the supplier's reliability, helping you make informed sourcing decisions before committing capital to purchase orders or long-term contracts.
We collect and verify publicly available business registration data, export records, and company information before the on-site visit.
The auditor verifies the supplier's business license, tax registration, export licenses, and any industry-specific certifications or permits.
An unannounced or scheduled visit confirms the factory exists, is operational, and matches the supplier's claimed production capabilities and capacity.
