How We Work in 4 Simple Steps
No layers. No jargon. Just the answers you need to make smarter business decisions in China.
What the records actually showed
Three engagements, anonymised at the client's request. Names, sectors and locations have been changed; every figure below is reported as it appeared in the underlying filings.
Quoted three different timelines for the same entity type. The registry records showed the delay came from a business-scope category that required a sector permit. Narrowing the scope removed the permit — and the timeline.
The registered address resolved to a residential unit, and the legal representative was linked to two companies already revoked. The contract was not signed. The deposit stayed in the buyer's account.
Twelve candidates screened in one batch. Four had never filed an annual report — a fact the sourcing team had read as a paperwork gap rather than a solvency signal.
Inside a real on-site visit
Every figure below comes from one order-verification visit we made to a sheet-metal cabinet plant in southern China. Time-stamped photographs, field footage and the verification checklist we actually worked through — with the supplier's markings removed.
