How to Verify a Floor Scrubber Manufacturer: 7 Red Flags to Avoid Fake Factories
Learn how to verify a floor scrubber manufacturer before sending money. 7 verification steps: live video tour, business license check, third-party inspection, sample orders. Avoid trading company scams.
The 'Fake Factory' Problem in B2B Equipment
Many 'manufacturers' on Alibaba and B2B platforms are actually trading companies with no factory. They add 15-30% markup, provide inaccurate specs, and disappear when quality issues arise. Before wiring $10,000 to any supplier, verify these 7 things.
7 Verification Steps
1. Request a live video factory tour — real manufacturers say yes immediately. 2. Verify business license on Chinese government database. 3. Check for ISO/CE certifications — request certificate numbers to verify. 4. Ask for 3 customer references in your country. 5. Order a sample unit before committing to a container. 6. Use Trade Assurance or Letter of Credit — never pay 100% upfront. 7. Third-party inspection (SGS/Bureau Veritas) costs $300-500 and saves thousands.
