Document Verification

We pull and verify the factory's own government records — business license against the GSXT database, USCC live and active, legal entity and who really signs, litigation and blacklist status. Not the copy they emailed you.

Factory Reality Check

How it works

Four steps. No mystery.

01

Tell us the problem

WhatsApp message or 15-minute call. We tell you straight if we're the right fix — and if we're not.

02

Pay the fixed price

One invoice, billed by Asia Agent Pte Ltd in Singapore. No hourly meters, no surprise add-ons.

03

We go in

Our Pearl River team does the work. On-site, in Chinese, face to face.

04

You get the truth

Report in plain English: what we found, what it means, what to do next. Even when the answer is "walk away."

We never source. We never take commission.
We only protect.

Sourcing agents make money when you buy. We make money when you're safe. That's why our reports tell the truth — even when the truth costs us the job.

China Agent team member on a factory floor — Boots On The Ground
Who's behind this

Dongguan Agent is the Dongguan desk of the China Agent network — served by our Pearl River Delta team, on the ground since 2008. Six hubs across China, one standard, no freelancers, no outsourcing.

We've seen every trick Dongguan has — the city where the world’s products are actually made, and where subcontracting games were invented: the showroom "factory" that subcontracts everything, the supplier with three company names, the perfect website built last month, the bank account that doesn't match the entity you signed with.

Every supplier behaves one way online and another way in person. A local team will always get further than a foreigner on the phone. That's not philosophy — that's 18 years of Tuesdays on factory floors. It's exactly why we exist.
