A category listing says what a company sells. It does not say whether the line can hold your tolerance at your volume, whether the certificate your market demands is current, or whether anything has ever left the country. Those are the things that decide whether a factory can take your order, and they are what this request is about.
A manufacturer’s record here already carries production capacity, main products, markets served and export countries, and where a factory audit exists, an accredited firm has been on the premises and written down what it found. A search that can read those is a different search from one reading a category name.
Funding the run is a different request. If what you need is the money rather than the maker, the financing request is the one to open. The same specification will not answer both.
At a glance
- What you bring
- The product, the volume, the standard, the destination market, and drawings where they exist
- What the search reads
- Production capacity, main products, markets already served, export countries
- Where verification fits
- A factory audit is an accredited firm’s visit to the premises, published in full
- What this is not
- Financing. Funding a production run is its own request
How it runs
- Describe what must be madeThe product, the volume and the standard. A drawing or a specification sheet shortens everything that follows.
- Say where it shipsThe destination market decides which certifications matter, and a factory that has never exported there is a longer road than one that has.
- A person works the requirementWithin three to five business days at each stage, and you are told what is missing rather than left guessing.
- You talk to the factory yourselfSooqban does not contract for you, take title, or hold money. What you agree is yours to agree.
Who this is for
- A brand that has a product designed and no factory to make it.
- An importer whose current supplier cannot hold the volume, the standard, or both.
- A company moving production to the region and starting from nothing.
Questions
How is this different from searching the Marketplace?
The Marketplace is a catalogue you search yourself, by category. This is a requirement handed to a person who goes looking. Useful exactly when the catalogue does not answer it.
Do you check that the factory is real?
A factory audit does that, and it is performed by an accredited inspection firm rather than by us. If you want a company you found elsewhere checked, that is the counterparty check.
Can you finance the production run too?
Not here, and not by us at all: a financing request is published to licensed institutions and Sooqban earns nothing from what they agree with you.
