Supplier vetting is the process of verifying a prospective supplier's legal standing, financial stability, ownership and operational capacity before you enter a contract. We deliver a documented assessment with a clear risk rating and recommendation, typically within 10 working days.

What's included

A single, defined deliverable — a written report you can act on.

How it works

Four steps, a fixed scope, a documented result.

01

Brief

You tell us the supplier and what the relationship involves. We confirm scope and timeline.

02

Verify

We run the checks against primary sources — registries, financials, ownership, screening.

03

Report

You receive a written assessment with a risk rating and a plain recommendation.

Frequently asked questions

What is supplier vetting?

Verifying a prospective supplier's legal standing, financial stability, ownership and operational capacity before you enter a contract — so you know they are who they claim to be and can deliver.

What does the report include?

Corporate registration and filings, financial standing, beneficial ownership, sanctions and adverse-media screening, operational capacity, and trading references — with an overall risk rating and recommendation.

How long does it take?

Around 10 working days for a standard single-supplier verification; up to about 15 where site verification or overseas registry checks are needed.
