The risk is real — and it is on the public record

Every figure below is published by a Chinese authority and is free to check. Most overseas buyers never look at any of it before they pay.

What we do

Two services: an annual membership for repeat checks, and on-site verification for the deals that matter. Everything captured on site comes with hash-sealed, location- and time-stamped evidence; notarization is an optional add-on.

Membership

Annual Membership

Basic verification of up to 10 Chinese companies within 12 months — registered entity, business licence fields, shareholders, change history, and the exact official sources you can re-check yourself.

$299 $99 / year Valid 12 months. Unused checks do not carry over. Each additional block of 5 companies: +$100.
On-site

On-site Verification

We attend the site in person — premises and signage, equipment and production line, workforce, workflow, warehouse, and product consistency. You receive a fact record with photographic, video and interview evidence.

From $499 Priced on actual person-days plus actual travel costs. The starting price covers one person-day at one address. Confirmed in writing before we travel.
Included

Verifiable Evidence

Every on-site visit is documented with photos and videos captured in real time. Each one carries GPS location, a timestamp and a hash value recorded on a notary-partner blockchain attestation platform — photos not retouched, videos not synthesised, every file traceable back to the visit.

Included in every on-site verification Notarized attestation is an optional add-on: it requires a notary to attend in person under a special statutory procedure, so it costs significantly more and takes longer. Quoted separately; it does not replace the on-site verification. Apostille and certified translation are charged at cost by the issuing authority.

Scope limit: entities and areas classified as state secrets under Chinese law are outside our scope. We do not accept, and will not perform, any engagement that would involve them — without exception.

How you pay

We invoice international clients and accept bank transfer (T/T) in the currencies below. Full remittance details and payment terms are stated on your Proforma Invoice — fixed price, confirmed in writing before work starts.

Remittance details are provided only on our official Proforma Invoice. We never change bank details by email alone.

Why the evidence holds up

Overseas buyers often ask: “Why should I trust a report from a Chinese company?” Our answer is not “trust us”. Every photo and video in an on-site verification is captured in real time, at the site, and sealed at the moment it is taken — with GPS location, a timestamp and a hash value recorded on a notary-partner blockchain attestation platform. Photos are not retouched, videos are not synthesised, and every file can be traced back to when and where it was captured. Notarization is a separate, optional channel: effective, but slower and considerably more expensive, because a notary must attend in person under a special statutory procedure.

Captured in real time

Every photo and every video is taken on site, in real time, by the verifier who is physically there. Photos are not edited or retouched, and videos are not synthesised or assembled from other footage. The original file is preserved exactly as captured.

Location and time attached

Each capture carries the GPS coordinates and the timestamp of the moment it was taken, recorded together with the file. A photo taken elsewhere, or at another time, cannot be passed off as part of this visit.

Hash-sealed and traceable

Each file is hashed and uploaded to a notary-partner blockchain attestation platform at the moment of capture, so any later change breaks the match. The record is immutable, time-stamped, and every item traces back to the visit, the site and the time it was taken.

How it works

A transparent four-step process. No middlemen, no canned templates.

Database checks and/or on-site verification by our local team.

3

You get the report

Bilingual report with clear risk flags within 24–48h.

4

Optional: notarization

Available on request — a licensed notary attends in person under a special statutory procedure, so it costs more and takes longer. Apostille optional.

Who we are

A Chinese compliance firm that works for the buyer — not for the factory, and not for a trading middleman.

Four disciplines, one question

Our people come from corporate finance, Chinese tax and accounting, commercial law, and software engineering. That combination is the point: a Chinese company only makes sense when its registration, its tax behaviour, its contracts and its data trail are read together — not one at a time.

Local, not outsourced

We are incorporated and operating in mainland China. Registration records, court files and tax status are only reachable — and only readable — from inside the system. Nothing is subcontracted to an offshore call centre or a template mill.

A 300+ notary-office network, when you need it

Where a deal genuinely needs a notarial seal, our partner network can arrange preservation of evidence and on-site supervision at more than 300 notary offices in China's major cities — so the evidence is sealed where the goods actually are. This is an optional channel: the evidence we capture on every visit stands on its own real-time, hash-sealed record.

We are paid only to verify. We do not source, trade, freight, or take commission from any supplier. There is no order for us to protect, which means no reason to call a bad supplier a good one.

What we are not. We are not a law firm, and a Junlan report is not legal advice. We establish and preserve facts, and we show you where each fact came from. Your lawyer decides what to do with them.

Check us first. We are a registered Chinese company — Unified Social Credit Code 91330113MAKH4HQM2N. Look us up on the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System before you trust us with anything. We ask you to verify your supplier; start by verifying us.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions overseas buyers ask us most.

How fast can you verify a supplier?
A remote Standard Check is typically delivered within 24–48 hours. An on-site verification visit depends on the factory's location, usually 3–7 days including travel and reporting.
Is the report accepted by my bank or lawyer?
Our standard report is data-driven and clearly sourced, and every photo and video in it was captured in real time with GPS location, a timestamp and a hash on a notary-partner blockchain attestation platform, so you can trace each item yourself. If a deal needs a notarial seal, notarization is available as an optional add-on: a licensed notary attends in person under a special statutory procedure, and an Apostille can be added under the 2023 Hague Convention — exempt from consular legalisation and directly usable in member countries, though the receiving authority may still review the content under its own law.
What data do you use, and is it legal?
Our registration data comes from the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System — China's official company registry — and is combined with our own on-site findings. Every source is cited in the report so that you can re-check it yourself.
Do you only verify factories, or also trading companies?
Both. Many overseas buyers actually deal with trading companies rather than factories. We trace the real operating entity behind any counterparty, including shareholder tracing and related-party structures.
How is my inquiry kept confidential?
We treat every engagement as strictly confidential. Your identity and the target are never disclosed to third parties, including the verified supplier, without your explicit consent.
What does it cost?
An Annual Membership is $99 per year (regular price $299) and covers basic verification of up to 10 Chinese companies within 12 months; each additional block of 5 companies is $100. On-site verification starts at $499 and is priced on actual person-days plus actual travel costs. Notarized attestation is an optional add-on, quoted separately — it costs significantly more, because a notary must attend in person under a special statutory procedure. Every price is fixed and confirmed in writing before we start. Apostille and certified translation are charged at cost by the issuing authority.
