Factory Verification Guide: How to Verify a Manufacturer Before Ordering

Before placing a significant order with a new manufacturer, verification is essential. This guide covers every step of the verification process for Indian manufacturers.

Document Verification: Request and verify the GST certificate (check the GSTIN on the GST portal), UDYAM registration certificate, and any product-specific certifications (ISO, BIS, etc.).

Digital Verification: Check the manufacturer's profile on FreeBhaav.com. Verified badges indicate that our team has already checked their documents. Look for response rate, years on platform, and buyer reviews.

Sample Order: Always place a sample order before committing to bulk quantities. Evaluate product quality, packaging, labelling, and delivery time against what was promised.

Video Verification: For large orders, request a video call to see the factory floor, production equipment, and quality control process. Reputable manufacturers welcome this.

FreeBhaav.com's verification system handles document verification for you — look for the GST Verified and UDYAM Verified badges on supplier profiles.
