In foreign trade transaction, background check of business partner is a routine operation. European and American companies pay great priority to corporate credit especially. Some large and medium-sized enterprises in the West would normally complete preliminary investigation before making inquiries to their potential business partners. Background check is not an operation of distrust or disrespect, it is actually a responsible performance of both parties involved in the transaction.

To verify a Chinese company, one can conduct it from multiple perspectives.

1. Official website: Visit the company's official website to learn detailed information about the company, including company profile, product or service introduction, contact information, etc. Regular companies usually have a beautiful official website and provide detailed contact information, including company address, phone number, email, etc.

2. Registration Information: Understand the company's registration information, including company name, registered address, registered capital, legal representative, etc. This information can be found on the websites of local market supervision bureaus or industry and commerce bureaus.

3. Credit History: Check the company's credit history to see if there are any outstanding debts, illegal operations, etc. It can be queried through the national enterprise credit information disclosure system or third-party credit query platforms.

4. Qualification certification: Understand whether the company has relevant qualification certifications.

5. Social reputation: Check the company's social reputation and understand its reputation in society. Relevant information can be queried through platforms such as search engines, social media, and consumer forums. (google "company name + fraud Or scam" is one of the good ideas)
