Independent Factory Sourcing Across China, Vietnam & Europe— Verified in Person, Priced on Results
We help UK and Portuguese brands find and vet Asian and European manufacturers without the guesswork of faceless marketplaces or the inflated margins of trading companies. Start with a free audit — no cost, no obligation.
Most SMEs sourcing from Asia are stuck between two weak options
Online marketplaces(Alibaba, Global Sources) — no independent verification of who you're actually dealing with, and no one accountable if a factory misrepresents itself.
- Traditional trading companies— their margin comes from marking up what you pay, not from saving you money. Their incentives and yours don't line up.
We built this consultancy to sit in between: independent, in-person factory verification, combined with a fee structure tied directly to the savings we actually deliver you— not to how much we can mark up your order.
We visit factories ourselves
Before we recommend a manufacturer, we verify their business licence, production capacity, quality control process, and working conditions on the ground — not from a catalogue or a video call.
Our fee depends on your result
Whether you choose our flat-fee or no-win-no-fee model, our pricing is structured around the savings and value we prove — not a hidden markup buried in your unit cost.
You see the numbers
Every engagement is built around an agreed Savings Methodology, defined in writing before any work starts, so there's never a dispute about what counts as a genuine saving.
Bilingual, cross-market expertise
Fluent, native-level support for both UK and Portuguese businesses — most sourcing consultants serving Portugal work through English or a translator; we don't

Free Sourcing Audit
A no-cost, no-obligation review of what you're currently paying for Asia-sourced goods. We benchmark your current landed cost against market rates for similar-scale brands in your category and tell you, plainly, whether there's a real savings case — before you spend anything.
What you get: a one-page Savings Opportunity Indicator showing your current cost against what comparable brands typically achieve.
What it isn't: a full sourcing report or factory shortlist — this is a fast, honest first read on whether it's worth going further. If the numbers don't show a strong enough gap, we'll tell you that too, rather than sell you an engagement that won't deliver.
Factory Sourcing & Vetting
We identify manufacturers matched to your product specification, minimum order quantity, and budget, then physically visit and verify the strongest candidates — checking legal registration, production capacity, quality control, and working conditions in person before we recommend anyone.
Savings Validation
Every engagement is benchmarked against real market data using an agreed Savings Methodology, defined and signed off before work begins. You'll always know exactly how "savings" is calculated and confirmed — no moving goalposts after the fact.
In-Person Factory Introduction
Once a candidate factory is verified, we deliver a formal Introduction: a named factory, our vetting findings, and validated pricing against your current baseline. Every Introduction we make is protected for 24 months — if you order from that factory during that period, our engagement terms apply, which is what allows us to invest real time and travel in finding the right match for you.
Ongoing Support Through First Shipment
We stay engaged through your first order and shipment, tracking landed cost through to confirmation — so the savings we identify are actually the savings you receive, not just a number on paper.
