New Supplier Sourcing
A short list of vetted Chinese suppliers — not a directory dump
We research, screen, and verify Chinese manufacturers against your actual requirements, so you can choose a supplier on facts rather than guesswork.
Find the Right Suppliers in China — Without the Guesswork
Finding a supplier in China is easy. Finding the right one is not.
Many capable Chinese manufacturers have little or no English-language presence online. Some never appear in international search results. Others look suitable on a website but turn out to have different capabilities, minimum order quantities, or quality standards than expected.
This service gives you a short list of vetted Chinese suppliers — researched, screened, and verified against your actual requirements — so you can make a decision on facts instead of guesswork.
Why Finding the Right Supplier Is Hard
You can search for Chinese suppliers yourself. But online information does not always tell you the things that matter most:
| The question | What a directory will not tell you |
|---|---|
| Can they actually make my product? | Whether the capability is in-house or outsourced |
| Are they a real factory? | Whether you are talking to a manufacturer or a trading company |
| Do they meet my quality standard? | Whether their process control matches your tolerance |
| Will they take my order size? | Whether their real MOQ fits your volume |
| Can they export to my market? | Whether they understand your destination standards and documentation |
We answer these questions before you ever contact a factory — so you spend your time on the two or three that are genuinely worth it.
What We Do
| Stage | What we do |
|---|---|
| 1. Requirements brief | We clarify your product specifications, target price, quantity, quality requirements, and destination market — the brief everything else is measured against. |
| 2. Supplier research | We search manufacturers and suppliers against your brief. We do not rely on online directories or paid listings alone. |
| 3. Screening | We review business licence, product range, machinery, capacity, certifications, and export experience to remove suppliers that cannot deliver. |
| 4. Short list | You receive a short list of suitable suppliers, with a profile and verification notes for each. |
| 5. Introduction & next steps | Once you decide, we introduce the supplier and can support sampling, factory audits, and production. |
What You Receive
Depending on your project, the sourcing process includes:
- A short list of suitable Chinese suppliers
- Supplier profiles and verification notes
- Product specifications and available options
- Indicative pricing and minimum order quantities
- A written summary of supplier strengths, risks, and next steps
Supplier profiles are delivered in English. Full supplier names, addresses, and contacts are provided once we are contracted and you have placed an order — see our supplier information policy.
How Much Does It Cost?
Starting from USD 600 / project.
The initial fee covers the supplier research and screening stage. The exact scope depends on the complexity of your requirements, the number of products, and the number of suppliers needed. Complex categories requiring drawings or process engineering are quoted at USD 900–1,500.
If you move to sampling or production, you can continue on an agency commission (5% of FOB value) or a trading quotation — your choice, never both.
Who This Is For
This service is particularly useful if you:
- Are sourcing from China for the first time
- Have difficulty communicating with Chinese suppliers
- Cannot find suitable manufacturers through online directories
- Need to compare several real, verified suppliers before committing
- Are entering a new product category and want a local partner to do the legwork
- Already have suppliers but want a second or third source qualified
Frequently Asked Questions
How many suppliers will I receive?
A typical project delivers a short list of three to five suitable, screened suppliers. The exact number depends on how specific your requirements are and the size of the supplier pool in your category.
Do you use online directories like Alibaba?
We do not rely on online directories or paid listings alone. We combine them with supplier databases, industry networks, and direct research to surface manufacturers who may not advertise internationally.
Do you guarantee the lowest price?
No — and you should be cautious of any agent who does. We screen for capability, quality, and reliability first, and give you indicative pricing so you can judge value. The cheapest supplier is rarely the safest one.
Can you help after I choose a supplier?
Yes. Our services are designed to grow with your project — factory audits, sampling, production follow-up, and pre-shipment inspection are all available as separate services.
When do I receive the suppliers’ names and contacts?
Verification evidence is provided immediately as part of your report. Full supplier names, addresses, and contacts are provided once we are contracted and you have placed an order.
What if you cannot find a suitable supplier?
We will tell you early and honestly rather than pad a weak list. If the brief is unrealistic for the category or budget, we say so before you commit to a full project.
