The four steps

From enquiry to quotations

1

Tell us about your project

We learn what you're building, which products you need, your approximate budget and your timeline. The more detail you share, the sharper the quote.

2

We plan the trip

We work with our local partner in China to arrange a relevant itinerary and factory visits built around your group's sourcing needs.

3

Visit suppliers in China

You visit factories with bilingual support. Discuss products, pricing, minimum order quantities and lead times, and compare your options side by side.

4

Review your next steps

After the visits you receive a summary of discussions and quotations. If you decide to proceed, we can discuss further support with orders and logistics separately.

How we vet a factory

Four checks before you commit

Sourcing goes wrong at the start, when the wrong factory is chosen on trust. We close that gap first.

Business licence

We confirm the company is real, registered and licensed to manufacture what you're buying.

Export history

We review a genuine track record of exporting — not a trading desk reselling someone else's goods.

In-person audit

Our agents visit the floor, see the line running and inspect the product in person.

References

We ask for and check references from buyers the factory has supplied before.

If the goods fail inspection

The factory reworks them at its own cost. If it can't put them right, we re-source with another verified supplier.
