Check a Chinese supplier before you place the order.
Supplier verification is an evidence review, not a confidence statement. BoMao checks the legal identity, operating information, capability claims and transaction records relevant to your decision, then separates what is confirmed from what still needs follow-up.
MATCH THE CHECK TO THE DECISION
Verification depth should reflect what is at risk.
A first quotation does not require the same level of evidence as a tooling payment, production deposit or high-value repeat order. The scope should be set around the decision you are trying to protect.
Desk verification
Review registration, public records and supplier-provided documents for identity and basic consistency.
Capability review
Add product, facility, capacity or operating evidence where the supplier’s claimed ability matters to selection.
Site / specialist check
Coordinate an agreed site assessment or qualified third-party audit when remote evidence is not enough.
EVIDENCE AREAS
The purpose is to test important claims against available evidence.
Legal identity
Registered company name, unified social credit information, legal status and the entity presented in commercial documents.
Address and operating consistency
Registered address, stated factory or office location and whether the operating story is consistent with the evidence provided.
Capability claims
Whether claimed products, equipment, production role, staffing or capacity are supported by documents, site evidence or agreed checks.
Document consistency
Licences, certificates, quotations, account details and other transaction records are reviewed for material inconsistencies.
WHAT THE FINDINGS SHOULD SAY
A useful verification report distinguishes evidence from assumptions.
Evidence supports the stated fact within the scope of the check.
Information conflicts across records or with the supplier’s stated position.
The supplier has not provided enough evidence to confirm the point.
The issue may need a site check, specialist audit, test or additional documentation.
BEFORE A MAJOR PAYMENT
Verification should inform the decision, not replace commercial judgement.
Supplier verification can reduce uncertainty, but it cannot guarantee future performance, product quality, solvency or delivery. Order controls and inspection remain separate decisions.
