Introduction
In today's global trade landscape, the risks of fraudulent partnerships with shell companies are significant. Cross-border procurement requires diligent supplier verification to avoid financial losses and legal disputes. With CheckSonar’s One-Click Chinese Supplier Risk Insight, businesses can now gain instant clarity on potential threats by leveraging authoritative data covering 340 million business entities. This article explores how to identify shell companies efficiently while safeguarding your operations.
The Problem: Unverified Suppliers
Many businesses face challenges when dealing with unverified suppliers. Common issues include:
- Financial fraud due to concealed triangular debts.
- Legal disputes caused by zombie companies or shell companies.
- Unexpected defaults, such as unpaid taxes or court judgments.
For instance, a Shenzhen circuit board factory faced early warning signs through CheckSonar’s report when its core equipment was listed for judicial auction. These red flags often lead to costly disruptions if ignored.
