Readable evidence

No mystery score. No false certainty.

A registration match does not verify a salesperson, invoice, bank account, or proposed transaction. Material statements are separated into facts, assessments, and unresolved gaps so you can see exactly what the evidence supports.

Common questions

Checking a Chinese company before payment.

Need to check a specific business? Start with the company name or registration code shown on its business licence.

How can I check whether a Chinese company is legitimate?

Start by matching the supplier to a registered Chinese legal entity. Check its Chinese legal name, Unified Social Credit Code, registration status, establishment date, address, and business scope. Then verify that the website, contact person, invoice, and beneficiary account actually belong to that entity.

Can I search using an English company name?

Yes. You can begin with an English name or trading name, but Chinese companies are legally registered under a Chinese name. Treat an English-name match as a lead until it is connected to the correct Chinese legal entity.

What is a Unified Social Credit Code?

The Unified Social Credit Code, or USCC, is the standard 18-character identifier used for registered organizations in mainland China. It is usually more reliable than an English trading name for identifying the exact company.

Does an active registration mean a supplier is safe to pay?

No. Active registration confirms that a legal entity exists; it does not prove that a salesperson, website, invoice, bank account, or proposed transaction is genuine. Those connections must be checked separately.

Do I need an account to search or order a report?

No account is required. You can search anonymously and provide an email address when ordering a report.
