Supplier check — identification
A desk check based on registry records and documents supplied by the supplier. No site visit was made.
Sample deliverable
What a supplier check report actually looks like
This is the real format, structure and level of detail you receive from the US$199 supplier check — with one example supplier's data filled in. Everything below is illustrative; real reports are written per supplier.
This is a sample, not a report about a real company
The supplier, dates and findings here are illustrative. We do not publish reports about real suppliers without the client's consent, and we never invent verification results to make a sample look better.
Overall result
Risk rating: Medium
The legal entity is real and contractable, and the payment account matches the contracting entity — the most common deposit risk is not present. Two questions are still open, and a desk check cannot answer either: whether the supplier manufactures or also trades, and whether its certificates cover the exact model being quoted.
Risk-based assessment: it reduces uncertainty; it does not guarantee supplier performance.
1 · Checks performed
What was checked
| Check | Result | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Business licence / legal entity | Verified | National enterprise registry record; registration active and within scope |
| Supplier identity and contact details | Verified | Registered address matched against the details given in the quotation |
| Payment account vs contracting entity | Consistent | Bank beneficiary name matches the legal entity that would sign the contract |
| Basic risk summary | Medium | See findings below |
Four checks, one supplier, three business days. Anything that cannot be evidenced is marked Unverified rather than assumed.
2 · Scope boundary
What this check does not cover
These are left out on purpose, so the price can stay at US$199. Each one is available as a separate, quoted piece of work — but only if your order size justifies it.
| Not included in the US$199 check | Available as |
|---|---|
| Factory / production capability evidence | Factory audit — from US$299 / visit |
| Certificates verified against the exact model quoted | Quoted by scope |
| Background and adverse-media review | Quoted by scope |
| Component consistency (driver IC, power supply) | Pre-shipment inspection — from US$299 / visit |
| Production follow-up and shipment coordination | Trial order support — from US$499 |
If your order is small, the US$199 check is usually enough. If you are about to pay a large deposit, it is not — and we will tell you so.
3 · Findings
What the check found
The entity is real and contractable. Registration is active, and the business scope covers display manufacturing — not trading alone.
The most common deposit risk is absent. The bank account named on the quotation belongs to the same legal entity that would sign the contract. Deposits are most often lost to accounts held in a different name; that risk is not present here.
Two questions remain open. First, whether the supplier manufactures its own cabinets or also buys them in finished — this affects both price and who is accountable. Second, whether the certificate held covers the exact pixel pitch being quoted, since certificates are often issued for one model range and quietly stretched to cover another.
Findings are limited to what these four checks can evidence. Open questions are listed as open, not resolved.
4 · Next steps
What we recommend
- Ask for the driver IC and power supply brand in writing. These two components decide what a screen costs to run and how it fails.
- Ask for the certificate that covers the exact model quoted, not the product family.
- Freeze the specification before any sample order — pixel pitch, cabinet, brightness, refresh rate, control system, spare modules.
- If the deposit is significant, commission a factory audit first. A desk check cannot see a production line.
