What you can establish
Documents to compare
Records that add context
Shareholders, key personnel, corporate changes, branches and investments help show legal structure. Court cases, enforcement actions, administrative penalties, abnormal-operation listings and licensing records add factual history. Their meaning depends on role, date, amount, outcome and transaction context.
Keep separate questions separate
Registration, factory capability, product conformity, payment control and delivery performance are different questions. A factual company report supports the registration and record-history parts. Samples, audits, inspections, references, contracts and banking controls cover other parts.
Common questions
Common questions
How do I check whether a supplier is a real company in China?
Obtain the Chinese business licence and match its legal name and unified social credit code to the registered entity. Compare the representative, address, incorporation date and business scope. Then verify that the same entity appears on the contract and invoice.
Does a broad business scope prove manufacturing ability?
No. Business scope states permitted or registered activities and can contain manufacturing language without proving current facilities, capacity or product quality. Factory evidence requires separate operational verification.
Is it normal to pay a different company?
Trading groups sometimes use affiliates or collection entities, which still requires a documented explanation. Confirm the relationship independently and use appropriate banking and contractual controls before payment.
