A background check tells you if a supplier is real. Due diligence tells you whether you should trust them with $100,000. Financial health, on-site factory verification, ultimate beneficial owner tracing, and a legal opinion that could save your deal — or save you from a disastrous one. Three tiers from $499 to $1,999.
For high-value transactions where a basic background check isn't enough. Every due diligence report is prepared by a licensed PRC lawyer — not automated data scraping, not a middleman. Every tier credits toward higher tiers and toward contract or dispute services.

A structured investigation process combining Chinese government databases, on-the-ground intelligence, and legal analysis.
Send us the supplier's company name (in Chinese if possible), their website or Alibaba link, proforma invoice, and the expected order value. Tell us your concerns — is this a first-time supplier? Have you noticed red flags?
We search Chinese government databases, court records, financial registries, customs databases, and tax records. For Tier 2+, we simultaneously dispatch a partner inspector to the factory location.
We synthesize all findings into a comprehensive report with a risk matrix, deal recommendation, and — if issues are found — specific legal protections to put in place before you wire money.
We walk you through the findings in a consultation call. If the supplier checks out, we can draft contract protections. If they don't, we help you find a safer alternative or structure the deal to minimize risk.
Both are prevention services. The difference is depth — and how much money you're about to wire.
Your order is under $20,000. You've done business with this supplier before. You just need to verify they're still legitimate. Budget: $99-$399. Timeline: 2-5 days. No on-site visit.
Your order is $50,000+. This is a first-time supplier. The supplier has a complex corporate structure (HK/BVI). You need to know if they can actually produce what they claim. Budget: $499-$1,999. Timeline: 5-14 days. Includes on-site verification.
Good news — the full amount you paid credits toward any due diligence tier within 30 days. You only pay the difference. Contact us to upgrade.
We believe in telling you what we don't do — it saves everyone time and builds trust.
We don't assign credit scores like Moody's or S&P. We assess legal and operational risk from a lawyer's perspective — can this company be sued? Do they have assets? Are they hiding behind shell entities?
We don't audit financial statements. We analyze publicly available financial indicators and interpret them legally. If you need a CPA audit, we can refer you — but that's a different service.
A clean due diligence report means the supplier is legitimate and low-risk — not that they're guaranteed to deliver. That's why we recommend pairing due diligence with a properly drafted contract.
The cost of due diligence is a fraction of what you stand to lose. A $999 Comprehensive Due Diligence on a $100,000 order is 1% of your deal value — and it could save you from losing all of it.
