Chinese Business Licence: An Introduction
Usually, a Chinese supplier has no problem sending a copy of their business license to potential customers. It is not a secret document. It is in Chinese, but shows interesting data. For example:
When the company was set up (does it correspond to what they told you?)
Registered address (is it the same as they show in their signature? if not, do they have an explanation?)
Invested capital (if this is 100,000 rmb, you know you are not dealing directly with a manufacturer.)
How do you know if you’re dealing with a trading company or a manufacturer in China?
This article’s title is a bit misleading. I wish finding out a supplier’s nature were that simple. But one of the fields shown on the business license is the nature of business (trading, manufacturing…). It might be an easy way to spot and disqualify an intermediary. But beware — many manufacturers also engage in trading.
Is There a China Company Registration
Search Website?
Unfortunately, you won’t find one database containing all Chinese registered businesses. But you can go to the AIC (“Administration of Industry and Commerce”) websites, search in Chinese, and with a bit of luck find some information about your target.
