Questions
Will the seller know I checked them?
We never contact your buyer or seller unless you order a site visit. Your deal stays yours. The check uses public sources and the documents you upload.
Is this a credit report?
No. It is a document and counterparty check that shows discrepancies before money moves.
What does it cost?
The basic check is free (2 a day). A Deal Check is USD 8.88 per deal, automated, result in minutes. Broker plans start at USD 28.88/month.
What should I do before I send an LOI or open an LC?
Check the seller first: company registration, directors, sanctions and the documents in the offer. Even an LC costs bank charges to open, so check before you open it.
Frequently asked questions
What should I check about a seller before sending an LOI?
The full legal company name, registration number and status in the official register, who signs and with what authority, whether contact details match the company's own website, and whether the offer's price, specification and Incoterm make sense.
Can a seller ask me for proof of funds first?
The buyer gives POF and the seller gives POP; a fair procedure says when each happens and how each is confirmed. Be careful if only the buyer is asked to prove anything.
Do you contact my seller?
No. We never contact your buyer or seller unless you order a site visit.
What do I get from a check?
A report that states what was verified, what could not be verified and any discrepancies, ending with a recommendation: proceed, proceed with conditions, or stop.
