Signed by the researcher

Sources

Official records, named line by line

National registry, judgements, execution records, credit systems — every delivered line names its source and query date.

1 · Five facts, 14 days

If any of these five is wrong — legal status · legal representative · USCC · registered address · incorporation date — full refund, once per buyer, 14 days.

2 · Confidential

The supplier is never contacted. Your check stays private.

3 · Signed

The researcher who read the records signs the report.

Honest scope

A strong fit — or not

A strong fit

  • You are paying a new Chinese supplier a deposit
  • You need contract, invoice and payee consistency checked
  • You want a named human who read the records

Not what you need

  • A factory audit or in-person site visit
  • An official credit rating or banking review
  • Ongoing monitoring by subscription

If you only need the raw registry line, the official database is free — gsxt.gov.cn is open to anyone. Sorcgard starts where the listing ends: reading, cross-checking, and signing.

Orders under ~$3K exposure: this isn’t the right tool.

Already paid? This is a recovery problem, not verification. Contact your platform, PayPal or bank for recovery options.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before paying

Payment & timing

How much does it cost?

Supplier Verify is $129 for one specified supplier. One-time. No subscription. No auto-renew. The fixed scope and exclusions are listed above. Delivery timing is confirmed per order.

How long does it take?

The free scope reply is sent within 24 hours. Report delivery timing is confirmed per order after the supplier, jurisdiction and claimed address are reviewed.

Scope

Will you tell me whether to buy?

No. The final buying decision stays with your team. You get registration facts, public risk signals and consistency findings signed by the researcher. The report does not predict future performance. It is not a factory audit, product inspection, legal or tax advice, credit rating, financial audit or ongoing monitoring service. Sorcgard takes no commission from the supplier being checked.

What is a USCC?

Unified Social Credit Code. The 18-digit number that identifies a Chinese company. It keeps two similar names from being treated as one company. Send it if you have it. A legal name is enough to start.

Can you check their ISO or CE certificates?

Certificate authenticity and product-compliance decisions are outside the fixed scope. A document-consistency review is limited to the files provided and does not establish laboratory or regulatory validity. Certificate-specific questions can be routed manually on request.

Evidence

How is this different from ChatGPT or a $4.90 registry snapshot?

Use the model to screen. Use a cheap registry lookup to read one record. Neither is signed by the researcher, and neither cross-checks the bank beneficiary against the registered company. The fast screen is yours. The signature is what $129 buys. Five named registration facts are covered by the refund policy. And unlike the big firms, there is no committee between you and the person who checked.

Why not D&B or a big credit bureau?

Big bureaus do real work at enterprise prices. A China report from a global bureau lists at $200-408, behind a phone wall or a sales call — D&B’s US site showed $408.99 in October 2026, delivered through account teams in a week or more. We serve the buyer they don’t: $129 for one specified supplier, signed by the researcher who read the records. Timing is confirmed per order. They underwrite supply chains; we check the one factory you’re about to wire money to.

What if a registration fact is wrong?

If legal status, legal representative, USCC, registered address, or incorporation date is wrong, you get a full refund within 14 days of delivery, measured from the report timestamp. Once per buyer. Interpretive judgments and registry changes after the query date are not covered. My name and refund policy are on every report. Read the refund terms →

Will you contact the supplier?

No. We never contact the company you are checking. Pulling public records does not notify the supplier. Your due diligence stays private. We read official records; we do not visit factories.

Can I see a sample without giving you my email?

Yes. Open the full sample — no email, no account. The sample is an illustrative example of a fictional company — not a client file. The revised sample shows the fixed scope and a Decision summary.
