Your report is signed by someone who knows China from the inside

Most verification services translate whatever a software tool returns. We read the Chinese registries in their original language and cross check them with local lawyers.

companies registered in China. The official data exists: you need to know how to read it

SAMR, 2023
Why it matters

A €500,000 order. A €250 report.

Most supplier fraud in China is discovered too late, once the money has already left. Official Chinese registries tell the real story of every company: how much capital it has actually paid in, what lawsuits it carries and who is behind it. We read that story for you, before you sign.

See our methodology
A typical case

Your supplier declares 10 million in capital but has only paid in 50,000?

The gap between registered capital and paid in capital is one of the most reliable warning signs. It appears in the official registries and we check it in every report.

Sources others cannot reach
