Supplier verification · Backed by real shipment data

Verify the supplier before the money moves.

TradeVerify runs a complete check on any supplier, in any market — registration, financials, online presence and trading history — and returns one risk score you can defend to your board. Every verdict is backed by real export shipment records.

The exposure

Advance payments to unverified suppliers are unsecured credit.

01

Middlemen presenting as manufacturers

Trading houses and brokers routinely claim factory ownership. The shipment record shows who actually exports.

02

Experience claims with no verification trail

"15 years exporting to Europe" is a sentence. Fifteen years of dated shipment records is evidence.

03

Directories list whoever pays for a listing

B2B marketplaces verify payment for placement — not export capability, volumes or buyers.

04

Product mismatch discovered after payment

A supplier who has never shipped your product category is an experiment you are funding.

Buyers lose $50K–$500K a year to fake suppliers, failed shipments and quality defaults. One wrong advance can erase a season's margin.

Every legitimate exporter leaves a paper trail — bills of lading, buyers, ports, dates. We read it before you pay.
Process

Three steps. Evidence at every one.

STEP 01 — SUBMIT

Name the counterparty

Enter the supplier's legal name or IEC code. Our index resolves spelling variants and matches the entity across 15.7M+ company records.

STEP 02 — VERIFY

We pull the record

Export activity, shipment history, destination markets, buyer relationships and consistency — assembled from shipment-level trade records.

STEP 03 — DECIDE

You get a verdict

A scored verification report with a TradeScore, risk flags and a plain recommendation: proceed, proceed with precautions, or walk away.

Data & method

Records first. Opinions never.

A

Shipment-level source data

Verification is computed from licensed trade-shipment records — the same class of data used by banks and trade insurers for counterparty checks.

B

Independent by construction

Suppliers cannot pay to be listed, boost a score, or remove a red flag. We have no commercial relationship with the companies we verify.

C

Deterministic scoring

The TradeScore weighs activity, recency, buyer diversity and market spread with a published method — same inputs, same score, every time.
