How the Factory Audit Works
- You provide the supplier's company name and factory address
- We schedule the audit with the supplier (or conduct an unannounced visit if requested)
- A local auditor visits the factory, observes the facility and collects evidence
- The auditor compiles findings into an English report with photos
- You receive the PDF report within 24-48 hours after the visit
Pricing, Travel Fees and Coverage
The base price of $299 covers a standard factory audit in major manufacturing cities including Shenzhen, Dongguan, Guangzhou, Foshan, Shanghai, Ningbo, Yiwu and Hangzhou. For factories in other provinces or remote areas, additional travel fees may apply β contact us with the factory address for a quote. The audit typically takes 2-4 hours on site. Both scheduled and unannounced audits are available. If the factory refuses access, we report the refusal and provide a partial refund.
Factory Audit vs Supplier Verification
Supplier Verification confirms that a company is legally registered. It does not prove the company has a real factory. A Factory Audit verifies the physical facility, equipment and production capability. If you need both legal registration checks and on-site verification, the Factory Audit includes basic registration verification as part of the report.
When to Audit a Factory
- Before placing a large order or signing a manufacturing contract
- When the supplier claims to be a manufacturer but may be a trading company
- Before paying a deposit for custom tooling or molds
- When you cannot visit the factory yourself
- When quality issues have appeared and you need an independent assessment
