Buyer Tool · Before deposit
Check the supplier identity before money moves.
Use this buyer-entered pre-check to separate legal entity, payment beneficiary, factory claims, process evidence, and document scope. It does not replace an official registry search, accredited audit, or specialist review.
Why this tool exists
A platform badge or supplier website does not answer the payment question.
The practical pre-deposit question is whether the company you are paying is the same entity you reviewed, whether the claimed manufacturing role is supported by the evidence you have, and which material unknowns are still open.
This tool gives a deterministic pre-check from the facts you enter. It does not invent missing registry, audit, or certificate evidence.
Pre-check result
NEED HUMAN CHECK
The supplier is not cleared by this pre-check. The open evidence should be resolved before a deposit, tooling payment, or production commitment.
Red flags

Positive evidence
— None recorded.
This tool evaluates only the facts you enter. It does not query Chinese registries or certify a supplier.
What STOP means
Resolve a material contradiction before the deposit.
A personal-account payment request, a mismatched beneficiary, or a mandatory document mismatch should not be treated as a minor missing field. The next step is clarification or scoped verification, not a larger payment.
What READY means
Ready for the next check is not “supplier verified.”
The result only means this form recorded no immediate stop condition and enough core fields were completed to continue. Product quality, capacity, sample-to-batch consistency, certifications, delivery performance, and legal risk may still require separate checks.

Use the result as a decision brief, not as a guarantee.
