Imagine this: You sign a lucrative deal with a supplier, only to find out later that they've suddenly disappeared—replaced by a new entity with no traceable history. This is the reality of "switching legal entities," a deceptive practice that has cost businesses millions. But what if there was a way to detect these risks before it's too late? Enter CheckSonar, an AI-driven platform designed to safeguard cross-border trade.
The Problem: What Is Switching Legal Entities?
Switching legal entities refers to the practice where companies shed their liabilities by creating new identities or transferring assets under different names. Often referred to as the "Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell" strategy, this tactic allows bad actors to escape financial obligations while continuing operations through shell companies. Warning signs include judicial auctions, numerous lawsuits, and abnormal business statuses.
Data shows that over 340 million social entities in China are tracked for potential risks, yet many still fall prey to such schemes. Without proper vigilance, businesses face severe consequences.
Consequences for Businesses
Falling victim to these tactics can result in halted production lines, reputational damage, and significant financial losses. For instance, one company lost $3 million due to undisclosed triangular debt from a supplier. Another paid 700,000 yuan to a garment factory, only to discover it had become a shell company long ago.
