Start Level IWhatsApp

Searching alone means comparing quotes you cannot verify against standards you do not yet know.

  • Level I closes that phase in one move.
  • You do not get a list of contacts: you get a factory ready to take your order, with its terms negotiated in writing.
What you receive
  • A written recommendation naming the chosen factory, its terms and its target price.
  • The compliance study for your product: standards in the destination country, mandatory markings, certificates to demand, customs classification.
  • A costed comparison of the eight to twelve factories consulted on one identical brief.
  • Three deep vetting reports on the shortlisted factories.
  • The physical samples, ordered and consolidated into a single shipment.
  • The visit report on the chosen factory: photographs, video, machinery, stock levels.
Included
  • The regulatory compliance study for your product, written and sourced.
  • Competitive sourcing across eight to twelve factories, on a brief you approve before it goes out.
  • Deep vetting of the three finalists: litigation, penalties, tax credit, intellectual property.
  • Samples ordered, consolidated and shipped together.
  • An on-site visit to the chosen factory, in Guangdong.
  • One named contact at Sorva for the whole package.
Not included
  • What the factories charge for goods and samples, and their carriage: advanced, then rebilled at cost.
  • Production, inspections and delivery, which begin at Level II.
  • A visit to a factory outside Guangdong, which carries a supplement.
  • Any stamped calculation note from a certified engineering practice.
What you send us
  • The product you want and its destination country.
  • Intended quantities and your target price, even roughly.
  • Your constraints: lead time, certification, marking, packaging.
  • A drawing, a photograph or a link to a comparable product, if you have one.

    On delivery of the report

    You receive the written recommendation. The 30% milestone is invoiced.

When it applies

  • You have a product and no factory, and you do not want to start with a standards mistake.
  • You hold three marketplace quotes and no way of telling which one holds up.
  • You want to change supplier without warning the current one, and without travelling.

Who carries it out

Run by Sorva, delivered on the ground by our Chinese-speaking team in Guangzhou, who negotiate and read the paperwork in the original. You receive everything in English.

Frequently asked

01What if no factory works out?
That is an answer, and it has value: a documented negative report counts as delivery. You will know why the product finds no taker at that price or that quantity.
02Can I order these steps separately?
Yes, each one exists on its own, and the configurator applies a discount from three steps up. The package bundles them into a single thread and a single contact.
03How is the balance settled?
The deposit is paid online and starts the work. The balance follows three milestones: 30% on the written recommendation, 30% once you approve the pre-production sample, the rest on delivery.
04Who speaks to the factories?
Our Chinese-speaking team in Guangzhou. They read licences, contracts and quotations in the original and negotiate directly. Sorva reports back to you in English.
