Already have a list of potential suppliers? Let Cherry Tech verify them with on‑site audits, business license checks, and reference calls. Avoid scams and bad partners – pay only for the verification reports you need.
You’ve found some suppliers online. We tell you which ones are trustworthy – before you send a single dollar.
The Problem
You have already identified a few factories on Alibaba, Global Sources, or through trade shows. But:
Anyone can claim to be a “gold supplier”
Fake business licenses and photos are common
You can’t tell if the factory really has export experience
One bad supplier can cost you thousands (or your entire business)
Our Solution – Supplier Verification & Background Check
Cherry Tech performs deep‑dive investigations on any potential supplier in China. We give you a clear “verified” or “not recommended” rating, backed by evidence.
What our verification includes:
Business license verification – We obtain the factory’s official registration from the Chinese government database (name, legal representative, registered capital, business scope).
On‑site factory audit – We visit the factory unannounced and check:
Real production line and equipment
Worker count and working conditions
Quality management system (ISO, BSCI, etc.)
Safety and environmental compliance
Export capability assessment – We review past export records, customer references (with their permission), and sample export documents.
Financial health check – Basic credit check (if available) and payment term history.
Reference calls – We contact 2‑3 of their previous buyers (with your industry in mind) to verify performance.
Why Choose Cherry Tech for Supplier Verification
Unannounced audits – We never tell the supplier the exact date, so you see the real operation.
Detailed report – 15‑20 pages with photos, videos, and a clear “Verified / Conditional / Not Recommended” conclusion.
Fast turnaround – Most audits completed within 5‑7 business days.
Cost‑effective – One audit costs less than a single flight ticket to China.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to be present during the audit?
A: No. We conduct the audit on your behalf and send you a full report. You can join via video call if you wish.
Q: What if the supplier refuses the audit?
A: That is a red flag. We will inform you, and you can decide to walk away or pressure them. Legitimate factories rarely refuse third‑party audits.
Q: Can you verify a factory that is not on Alibaba?
A: Yes. Just provide the factory name, address, and contact person. We will verify any facility in China.
Q: How is this different from Alibaba’s “Verified” badge?
A: Alibaba’s verification is often done remotely or announced. Our audits are unannounced, and we physically inspect the production line, not just the office.
