Auditor inspecting a candidate factory before shortlist

Supplier Sourcing China

Sourcing in China — but only after the audit.

Most sourcing agents earn commission from the factory. We don't. Every supplier we introduce has already been physically audited by our Shenzhen team. Independent shortlist in 14 days.

Why this exists

"Find me a supplier in China" is the most expensive sentence in your supply chain.

Traditional sourcing agents introduce you to factories that pay them a commission. That model rewards them for closing the deal — not for protecting you from the wrong supplier.

We work the opposite way. We audit first, then introduce. Our fee is paid by you. The supplier never knows our margin and never pays us a cent.

Sourcing pillars

Four stages. One audited shortlist.

01

Brief & Risk Profile

  • Product spec, target landed cost and minimum order quantity captured in writing
  • Risk profile: which failure modes you cannot accept (forced labour, IP leak, ESG)
  • Region and cluster strategy — Shenzhen, Ningbo, Foshan, Yiwu, Qingdao
02

Pre-Audited Shortlist

  • We only present factories we have already audited or can audit before introduction
  • Identity, capacity, QMS and social risk pre-cleared before you see the name
  • No commission, no preferred-partner status, no kickback
03

Sample & Quote Coordination

  • Bilingual technical RFQ aligned to your engineering pack — not a translated PO
  • Sample collection, neutral inspection and side-by-side comparison
  • Quote normalisation: same incoterm, same packaging, same payment, same currency
04

Order Handover

  • Negotiation support against Chinese-language commercial benchmarks
  • Contract templates with Chinese arbitration clause and IP protection
  • Optional on-going inspection, ESG monitoring and re-audit cadence

Execution flow

From brief to signed contract in five weeks.

  1. Step 01

    Brief

    Day 0–3. Spec, risk profile and commercial constraints captured in a written brief signed by you.

  2. Step 02

    Cluster Mapping

    Day 3–7. We map the right industrial cluster — region, sub-tier ecosystem, raw-material base.

  3. Step 03

    Shortlist Audit

    Week 2. Three to five candidate factories audited on the ground using our standard 60-point protocol.

  4. Step 04

    Sample & Quote

    Week 3–4. RFQs issued, samples produced, quotes normalised and presented with risk scores.

  5. Step 05

    Handover

    Week 5. Selected supplier, signed contract, first-order plan and inspection schedule handed to your team.

What you get

Four hard outcomes from every sourcing engagement.

01

No Alibaba Roulette

Every supplier on the shortlist has been physically audited. No "Gold Supplier" badges, no profile screenshots.

02

Independent of the Factory

Our fee is paid by you, not by the supplier. We never accept commission, kickback or a preferred-partner discount.

03

Risk-Scored Shortlist

Each candidate is delivered with the audit dossier and a red / amber / green risk score before you commit.

04

China-Side Continuity

Our Shenzhen team stays involved after handover — re-audits, inspections and ESG monitoring on a fixed cadence.

Source from China — without the commission conflict.
