Company verification – collection and analysis of official data (registration, ownership, disputes, legal status).

Company investigation – in-depth inquiry including direct exchanges with the company and verification of the documents provided.

Factory audit – on-site inspection by an Asiaction auditor to assess production capabilities, quality processes, and factory organization.

Our approach
Three levels of checks to secure your partnerships in China
Check your partners’ legal status before any commitment
In-depth analysis and direct contact with the supplier
Assess real production capabilities and supplier compliance
With Asiaction
With company verification
Choose the level of control that matches your project: simple legal verification, full investigation, or an on-site audit.
We collect information directly from Chinese government databases and from documents provided by the company.
Our Euro-Chinese experts verify the consistency of the information and deliver an objective assessment, with no conflict of interest.
Beyond documents, we validate the company’s structure, production resources, compliance, and transparency.
You receive a detailed report in your language, including photos, official documents, comments, and conclusions.
Without Asiaction
Without company verification
It is impossible to confirm the company’s legitimacy, actual size, or production capacity.
Data available online is not always official, up to date, or correctly interpreted.
Without a local investigation or physical verification, you rely only on what the factory tells you.
An unverified partner may hide debts, an illegal status, or undeclared subcontracting.
Without analysis or on-site observation, you risk investing blindly in an uncertain partnership.
