Who This Service Is For
First-time China sourcing
You don’t know where to start, and marketplace listings all look the same until something goes wrong.
Outgrowing your supplier
Your current factory can’t keep up on quality, capacity, or engineering support and you need a better fit.
Burned by an agent before
You suspect hidden commissions and marked-up quotes, and want a partner whose only client is you.

How It Works
-
Define the supplier profile
We agree on the factory type, capability profile, and commercial terms your product and volumes actually need.
-
Map and shortlist
We identify candidate factories across the right manufacturing clusters and screen them before any outreach.
-
RFQ package & outreach
We prepare a professional RFQ package and run the outreach — factories respond faster and more seriously to a well-built RFQ.
-
Compare and vet
We normalize the quotations into one comparison matrix, review capabilities, and visit the finalists where needed.
-
Recommendation & introduction
You get our factory fit assessment and direct introductions — you contract with the factory directly and own the relationship.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take commissions from factories?
No. We charge you a service fee — nothing else. We take no factory commissions and no hidden rebates, and quotations reach you exactly as we receive them. You contract with the factory directly.
How many factories will you contact?
We typically screen a wider pool, send the RFQ to a focused group, and deliver at least three serious, comparable quotations. Quality of fit beats quantity of quotes.
Can you audit factories in person?
Yes. We are on the ground in China and can visit and audit finalist factories — capability, quality system, and communication — before you commit.
What if none of the factories are a good fit?
We tell you directly and rerun the search with adjusted criteria. A wrong factory costs far more than a longer search.
