How to run this contract check
Step 01
Match the legal entity
Confirm the exact company name and any supporting identifiers from the draft contract, invoice, quote, and onboarding documents.
Step 02
Review the company profile and signals
Use ChinVerify to review the company's status, business profile, and relevant risk-related information.
Step 03
Approve, hold, or escalate
If the profile is consistent, move forward. If key details are unclear or higher-risk signals appear, escalate for deeper review before signature.
What to confirm before your team signs
Use this decision guide when the deal is moving toward signature and your team needs to confirm that the legal entity on paper is the one it is prepared to contract with.
Counterparty
Confirm the exact contracting entity before signatures begin
The company named in the contract should line up with the profile you reviewed, not just with the sales contact or website branding you have seen during negotiation.
Scope Fit
Check whether the business profile supports the deal your team is approving
Contract reviewers usually need more than identity. They need to know whether the registered scope and profile make sense for the transaction being approved.
Approval Notes
Capture enough evidence to support internal approval before signature
This works best when legal, procurement, and finance can rely on the same evidence trail before the contract creates exposure.
Which plan fits this contract decision
Check the company before your team signs the contract
A clear entity match and a coherent risk picture help your team sign with more confidence, and help you pause early if something important does not line up.
