Pre-Commitment Factory Verification

Why This Service Exists

Why Pre-Commitment Verification Matters

When working with a new supplier, risk is highest before the first order.

• Factory legitimacy may be unclear

• Production capability may be overstated

• Ownership structure may be opaque

• Deposits are often requested early

• You may have no local presence

A structured on-site verification protects you before financial or contractual exposure begins.
