Identity before capability
A supplier story starts with the legal entity. We separate the Chinese legal name from English trade names, match the business license to invoices and email domains, and note where a seller uses a related trading company.

How VerifyFactory Reviews Supplier Evidence
VerifyFactory treats supplier verification as a transaction file, not a trust label. We look at identity, capability, payment route, and the evidence trail a buyer can keep.
Evidence tied to the order
A certificate, photo, or audit note matters only when it connects to the product, factory address, and order being discussed. Generic documents sit in the file, but they do not clear the supplier by themselves.
Payment route as a separate check
The beneficiary review gets its own pass. A related company, offshore account, or late bank change can have a commercial explanation, but the buyer should receive that explanation before funds move.
Document limits stay visible
We do not call a supplier safe because one record looks clean. We state what the file supports, what remains open, and which questions deserve outside review.
Editorial boundaries
- We do not publish fake case studies or invented buyer quotes.
- We avoid supplier-blacklist language unless a public source supports it.
- We describe checks a small buyer can perform or ask a reviewer to perform.
- We keep service references tied to a specific next step, such as a documented supplier report.
