Services
Everything between the brief and your warehouse.
From factory to marketplace: sourcing, quality, shipping and the compliance you need to sell in the UK and EU. Use one service or all of them. Each hands over cleanly to the next, so the team that approved your sample also inspects your order and books your freight.
Core services
Sourcing, quality and shipping
- SRC-01
Product sourcing
We find the right factory for your product, compare quotes on equal terms and get samples approved before you commit.
- VER-02
Supplier verification
Already have a supplier? We check they are who they say they are, and visit the factory before you send money.
- QC-03
Quality inspection
Our inspectors check your goods against your approved sample and specification before the factory ships, and before you pay the balance.
- PRD-04
Production management
We handle contracts, payments and follow-up with the factory, so you hear about delays while there is still time to fix them.
- DEV-05
Private label & product development
From an existing product with your logo to a custom design, we take you through specification, samples, packaging and the checks you need to sell in the UK and EU.
- SHP-06
Consolidation & shipping
We collect from your factories, consolidate into one shipment and move it by sea, air or rail to your warehouse, 3PL or Amazon.
Sell in the UK & EU
Compliance and market access
VAT, EPR, product compliance and trademarks, handled by the same team that sources and ships your goods.
- VAT-10
VAT registration & filing
Register for VAT where you sell, file returns on time and stay compliant with marketplaces, from the UK and Germany to Australia and Canada.
- EPR-11
EPR compliance
Register for packaging, electrical (WEEE) and battery EPR in the countries you sell, report volumes and pay the recycling fees, so marketplaces keep your listings live.
- REP-12
Authorised representative & product compliance
Products such as toys, electricals and machinery need a named representative in the EU or UK. We provide one, check your technical documents and coordinate CE or UKCA testing.
- TM-13
Trademark registration
Protect your brand before you put it on a product. We search, file and register trademarks in the UK, EU, US, China and more than 120 other countries and regions.
- TAX-09
China tax agent
If you run a company or representative office in China, our tax agent service handles filings and liaison with the tax authorities.

- No commissions from factories
We take no commissions, rebates or fees from the factories we recommend. We work for you.
- You see the factory and its price
Every quote names the factory and shows its own price. Our fee is a separate line.
- Balance after inspection
The balance is usually paid only after the goods pass inspection, while the factory can still fix problems.
- Nothing starts without your yes
You approve a written quote before any work begins, and factories are paid only on your instruction.
