China supplier verification memo

The name used in chat is an English storefront brand. It does not match the Chinese legal name on the license: 佛山市顺德区示例家具有限公司 (Foshan Shunde Example Furniture Co., Ltd.).

The WeChat / WhatsApp number provided is not the published legal representative (法定代表人) 张某, and it is not the contact number on the registry filing.

The registered address is a Lecong commercial mall in Shunde, not a Longjiang industrial park address of the kind usually associated with furniture manufacturing.

The gap between subscribed and paid-in capital is a financial-capacity indicator that warrants further scrutiny. It also conflicts with the supplier’s claim of a long operating history.

The registered entity’s business scope contains wholesale and retail activities. Manufacturing terms were not found.

This is inconsistent with the supplier’s claim that the contracting entity directly operates a factory.

This finding does not rule out manufacturing through a related or subcontracted entity.

Request the legal name and business license of the entity operating the factory, then match it against the contract and bank beneficiary.

The registered address type is a furniture mall, not an industrial park (工业区 / 工业园).

The latest annual report lists a social-insurance headcount of 3. That is a filing figure, not a census of all staff.

A filed social-insurance headcount of 3 is inconsistent with the chat claim of “300 workers.”

Shareholders (股东): 张某 90%, 李某 10%, largely subscribed rather than paid-in.

Same-representative graph: four other companies under 张某 — three cancelled, one Guangzhou trading company still live. Multiple cancelled or short-lived related entities warrant further scrutiny before a deposit is paid.

The phone number given to the buyer is listed on two other live trading companies.

No material outbound investment (对外投资) was found under this entity — no factory subsidiary sitting underneath on the public record.

Supervisor and manager roles are also filed as 张某. That is a control-concentration signal, not a finding that this is a one-person limited company (一人有限公司).

One small sales-contract judgment in 2025, this entity as defendant, about RMB 80,000, closed.

No upcoming hearings found. No enforcement record (被执行) found. Not listed as a dishonest debtor (失信). No consumption-limit (限高) record found.

No equity pledge (股权出质), equity freeze (股权冻结), abnormal-operations listing (经营异常名录), or published administrative penalty found. Status remains existing; no liquidation filing found.

An empty enforcement list does not mean it is safe to treat this entity as a factory. It means only that no current enforcement record was identified in the sources checked.

May 2026: legal representative (法定代表人) changed (previous name removed). April 2026: registered address moved from a residential tower to the Lecong mall.

Chat started asking for a 30% deposit in June 2026, shortly after the legal-representative change. The English brand used in WeChat still does not appear on the license.

No factory walk, no photos of a production line, and no AQL or other on-site quality work.

Whether a related or subcontracted entity actually manufactures the goods. That legal name was not provided.

Sanctions / entity-list screening was not run in this DEMO. A paid memo states whether a public-list check was run.

Unknown is written as unknown. A blocked court portal is never recorded as “no lawsuits.”

Do not send a factory deposit to this Unified Social Credit Code.

Ask for the manufacturer’s Chinese legal name and business license, then run the same check on that entity.

If you still use this trader: contract and bank account should match 佛山市顺德区示例家具有限公司 exactly, and pay as a trading middleman, not as if this were the plant.

On-site audit (SGS / QIMA or equivalent) only after the real factory name is on paper.
