Before you sign the contract —
audit the factory.
A physical visit to assess the factory's real production capacity, financial health, and operational stability — before you commit your order or your deposit. The due diligence a bank runs before lending. Now available to SME buyers.
A factory can look great on a video call.
An auditor sees what cameras don't.
A polished showroom, a smiling manager, and an impressive company brochure are easy to stage. Real production capacity, financial health, and workforce stability are not.
"They told me they had 200 workers and 5 production lines. When I visited, I counted 40 people and 2 lines — clearly subcontracting the rest."
"Turned out they were a trading company. They outsourced my order to another factory I'd never vetted."
"Their lead time was 30 days. Once I paid, I discovered they only started hiring workers after receiving my deposit."
"The equipment was old and poorly maintained. They couldn't hold the tolerance we needed. I only found out after the first run."
Five dimensions.
One verdict you can act on.
Physical inspection, workforce stability check, financial analysis, anti-fraud verification, and management review — synthesized into an actionable decision.
-
Facility & Capacity Assessment
Physical inspection of production lines, equipment condition, and real output capacity — not what the brochure claims.
-
Workforce Stability Check
Evaluate total headcount, skilled worker ratio, and signs of high turnover — a leading indicator of delivery risk.
-
Financial Viability Indicators
Review utility payment patterns, social security contribution records, and equipment financing status.
-
Anti-Fraud & Manufacturer Verification
Confirm this is a genuine manufacturer — not a trading company routing your order to an unvetted third party.
-
Management & Track Record Review
Interview factory management, assess industry experience, and review historical delivery performance.
-
Recommended / Conditional / Not Recommended Verdict
A clear, actionable conclusion — the same decision-ready output our team produced for bank lending committees.
Other inspectors check the floor.
