See the factory
before you pay.

We go to the supplier, take photos, and tell you what is really there.

What the report tells you.

The part buyers read first. Three lists, and our reasoning underneath each one.

Three things check out.

  • A working factory at the address you were given
  • The machines on site can make your product
  • Company name matches your quote and their licence

A long list here is a good sign.

Three things to keep an eye on.

  • Smaller operation than they described
  • No written quality process on the floor
  • One person handles every part of the order

Not dealbreakers. Things to keep an eye on.

One thing to settle before you pay.

  • Part of the order goes to a second workshop nobody mentioned

Some are fixable. Many are a hard stop.

An empty red flag list is the best thing you can read.

What happens on the day.

One of our people, at the supplier, for a full day.

  1. We go to the address

    And find out whether a factory is really there.

  2. We walk the floor

    Machines, materials, people, stock.

  3. We photograph it

    So you can see it, not just read about it.

  4. We ask your questions

    Whatever you told us was worrying you.

  5. We write it up

    Short, and in plain English.

What it costs.

You see the price before anything starts.

Every report ends one of three ways.

Go ahead

The place is real, and it can do your work.

Fix this first

A real supplier, with two things to sort out before you pay.

Walk away

It is not what they told you, and we say so plainly.

We tell you which one it is. That is the job.

Quick answers.

Usually yes, because we book the visit. Most suppliers are fine with it. If you would rather they did not know who sent us, say so.

We write that down. A supplier who blocks the door has already told you something useful.

No. We are not a lab and we do not issue certificates. We go, we look, we tell you.

Yes. Send them with your request and we take them to the site.

We answer in 12 to 24 hours. The report follows 3 to 8 days after you approve, depending on which one you pick.

Step 1 of 3

Who are you checking?
Where are you up to?
Where do we send it?

Sending this does not commit you to anything.

  • Answer in 12–24 hours
