Supplier verification before deposit

Verify Chinese CNC machine suppliers before you wire money.

We help overseas buyers check whether a CNC supplier is a real manufacturer, trading company, assembler, or reseller, and whether it can support export buyers after delivery.

Verification scope

What we check

The goal is to reduce uncertainty before payment, factory visit, or contract negotiation. Verification can be a standalone service or part of a sourcing report.

ID

Company identity

Business license, company age, legal scope, address consistency, related entities, brand ownership, and whether the supplier appears to be a factory or intermediary.

FAC

Factory capability

Workshop photos or video, production equipment, machine assembly capability, testing area, inventory, sample machines, and relevant product focus.

EXP

Export readiness

English documentation, export experience, packaging, HS code awareness, CE/other compliance claims, shipping terms, and payment process.

SUP

After-sales support

Installation guidance, remote support, spare parts stock, warranty process, response time, manuals, training, and local support options if any.

RFQ

Quote consistency

Whether the supplier's quote matches the requested machine configuration and whether important components are specified or hidden.

RISK

Risk notes

Red flags, missing information, unclear claims, payment concerns, and practical questions to ask before moving forward.

When to use it

Verification is useful even if you already found the supplier yourself.

Many buyers arrive with quotes from Alibaba, Made-in-China, trade shows, referrals, or supplier emails. Verification helps you slow down before the deposit stage.

  • You have a cheap quote but the supplier's identity is unclear
  • The supplier claims to manufacture many unrelated machine types
  • The machine configuration lacks component brands or acceptance tests
  • The company cannot clearly explain installation, warranty, or spare parts
  • You need an independent China-side check before a factory visit
Evidence we ask for

A serious supplier should be able to prove more than a sales catalog.

Verification does not mean guessing from a website. We ask for documents, photos, videos, quote details, and explanations that show whether the supplier can actually build, export, and support the machine being quoted.

  • Business license name compared with website, invoice, bank account, and quotation identity
  • Factory address, product scope, workshop footage, assembly capacity, testing area, and inventory
  • Component list with brands and models, not only generic phrases like imported rails or famous controller
  • Export references, packaging examples, manuals, HS code awareness, and compliance documents
  • Warranty process, spare-part availability, remote troubleshooting, and escalation contact after shipment
USEFUL OUTPUT

What the memo should help you decide

The goal is not to declare a supplier perfect. It is to decide whether the supplier is worth deeper RFQ work, a factory visit, a sample run, negotiation, or no further time. Good verification makes the next step clearer before money moves.
