For manufacturers
Work with UK and EU buyers on one record.
Keep your profile, specifications, samples, production updates and shipment documents in one place, and answer each question once.
Registering is free. Any supplier fee is shown to you before you agree to it. Registration promises no orders, buyer leads or listing.

Your data
Who sees what
Buyers see your profile only if you show it, and your legal details only once connected.
- Connections need consent
- A connection opens only once both companies agree to it.
- Other buyers stay private
- No buyer sees your other buyer relationships.
- Why we confirm both companies
- It stops impersonation and wrong-factory connections. Staff see an order's parties, stage, value band and dates, and its contents only with a scoped support grant.
Verification
What verification means
We check your GST registration, your factory on a live walkthrough matched to its address, and your certificates. Each check is dated.
- Registering makes you a candidate, not verified.
- Verification is never sold, and fees don’t influence it.
- Buyers see your claims apart from our checks.
