Why Screen a Supplier Before the Visit?

A professional website, sales presentation or marketplace profile does not necessarily prove that a company owns a factory, holds the required licenses or has the capacity to fulfil your order.

QGO Business helps international buyers identify material concerns before arranging meetings, factory visits, sample orders or substantial payments.

Is It a Real Manufacturer?

We review whether the supplier is more likely to be a manufacturer, an integrated manufacturer-trader or a trading company.

Are the Documents Consistent?

We compare the registered company, factory address, contracting entity, payment recipient and available licenses.

Is the Supplier Worth Meeting?

We provide a preliminary risk level and a clear recommendation on whether to prioritise, verify further, request documents or avoid the meeting.

Final QGO Recommendation

A structured conclusion on whether the supplier should be prioritised, further verified or excluded from the proposed visit.

No Supplier List Yet?

If the client does not have an existing supplier list, QGO Business will conduct an initial supplier search based on the client's product requirements and provide a shortlist of 3–5 potential suppliers for further review and comparison.

The shortlist is based on preliminary screening and does not constitute final approval, certification or a guarantee of supplier performance.

The US$300 service includes:
  • an initial shortlist of 3–5 potential suppliers where required; and
  • one detailed Supplier Pre-Visit Screening Report for one selected supplier.

Additional detailed supplier reports, on-site inspections, paid database costs, sample purchases, laboratory testing, travel costs and third-party inspection services are quoted separately.

How It Works

We review available corporate records, public risks, supplier documents, production claims and preliminary commercial information.

4

You receive a structured report with the main findings, concerns, supplier-specific questions and QGO's meeting recommendation.

Important Service Scope

This service is a preliminary desk-based supplier screening service prepared using publicly available information, supplier-provided documents and preliminary supplier responses.

It does not constitute formal legal due diligence, a financial audit, an on-site factory inspection, a quality-system audit, independent laboratory testing or a guarantee of supplier performance, production capacity, product quality or transaction outcome.

On-site factory inspections, third-party testing, sample purchases, paid database fees, travel costs and additional supplier reports are not included unless separately agreed and quoted.
