TRANSLATION SERVICES
Hiring a well-briefed professional interpreter is best to navigate your way around and discuss sensitive business matters with your supplier.
It is advisable to have your own interpreter available to assist with discussions when required. Chinese partners often spring interpreting on junior staff that have studied English but are neither experienced at interpreting nor pre-briefed on the topic of the meeting. With your own interpreter, you should also have some feedback afterwards on what was said and how it was said, and just as important what wasn’t said, during the meeting. At VANZEEL Logistics Ltd we provide an interpreter that is discreet and on your side working for you.
COMPANY CHECKS
Vanzeel Logistics Ltd Company Registration Report – and what it means for you.
A Vanzeel Logistics Ltd Company Registration Report uses the Chinese company’s AIC registration to provide you with the following information:

Registration number
-
Legal representative

Registration capital
-
Date of registration

Renewal status
Basic company information will help you determine whether the company is bona fide and is legitimately registered. You will then be in a position to make a more informed decision about whether your supplier might be an appropriate business partner and assess what further due diligence may be required.
Conducting a Company Registration Report is the very first level of due diligence, and should be done when researching the background of a supplier. You may require access to more detailed information, such as financial, quality and social responsibility information, on a prospective partner in China. Vanzeel Logistics Ltd can also provide a Company Assessment Report, which analyses information from a Chinese company relating to its capabilities, professionalism and experience of supplying/working with foreign companies.
We provide many additional services all designed to assist you. Below is a brief description of our services. To discuss your requirements send us an email. We will reply within 24 hours.
