Understanding the background of your Chinese business partners, suppliers, distributors or investors is a pre-requisite for entering into a successful partnership. To support our Members and clients to make the right decisions for their business, CBBC offers due diligence and company background check services which help UK companies to understand the business status, financial standing, credibility and capabilities of potential Chinese suppliers or partners. 


We provide you with a company registration report based on background research and investigations through the appropriate State Administration of Industry and Commerce (AIC). All companies in China are legally required to register with the municipal level AIC bureau to obtain their business licence and we can generate a Company Registration Report for you that includes the following key information:


•    Company name
•    Registered address
•    Registration number
•    Legal representative
•    Registration capital
•    Date of registration
•    Type of enterprise
•    Business scope
•    Shareholder
•    Renewal status


This basic company information will enable you to qualify whether the Chinese target company is bona fide, legitimately registered and fit for purpose. It can also enable you to assess what further due diligence may be appropriate to conduct.
 
 

More in-depth Due Diligence


Conducting a Company Registration Report is the very first level of due diligence one should carry out when researching the background of a Chinese company. You may require access to more detailed information, such as financial statements, quality and social responsibility information on a prospective partner in China. CBBC through our comprehensive Member network is able to provide the necessary guidance.
