Confirm the distributor’s legal identity before evaluating its commercial pitch. Collect the registered name and identifiers and match them to the contracting entity.
Ask how the relationship would work. Clarify territory, customer coverage, sales responsibilities, after-sales support and whether subcontractors or other intermediaries are involved.
Assess claims with suitable evidence. Request relevant references or documents and consider how you will verify them. A company information report does not validate market reach or guarantee sales results.
Write down the open questions before signing. Decide which evidence is essential to your decision and which assumptions remain uncertain. Review the proposed agreement with advisers appropriate to the transaction.
A Company Report can help organise the available information about your proposed counterparty. Enhanced enquiries are available as a separate service.
