DEAL PROTECTION · ★ CORE SERVICE
Know who you’re dealing with before you ship.
A structured check of your buyer’s official identity, registration status, and contact consistency — so a purchase order isn’t the only thing you’re trusting.
STARTING FROM €60 (STANDARD) · €120 (ENHANCED)
THE PROBLEM YOU’RE FACING
A name on a document isn’t proof.
A website, a corporate email address, or documents carrying a company’s name are not enough on their own to confirm the reliability of the party you’re transacting with. Commercial fraud does not always involve a fictitious company — some cases involve the misuse of a legitimate company’s identity, or contact details that don’t match its official records. By the time you notice something is wrong, the goods may already be on their way.
WHY YOU NEED THIS SERVICE
An independent, documented answer.
Before you commit production capacity, book a shipment, or agree to any payment terms, you need an independent, documented answer to one question: is the information in front of you consistent enough to support your next commercial decision? ExportWay verification doesn’t stop at “does this company exist?” — it looks for the inconsistencies that matter.
WHAT WE CHECK
Every detail that should line up — and every one that doesn’t.
- Legal company name and trading name
- Registration and active status
- Company registration number
- VAT number, where applicable
- Incorporation date
- Registered address
- Registered business activity
- Directors or registered representatives, where available
- Website and contact details
- Consistency between the contact information you were given and the company’s official records
- Potential inconsistencies or warning indicators
HOW IT WORKS
Four steps, start to report.
01
Submit the buyer’s name, country, and any documents or contact details you already have.
02
We review official and commercial sources relevant to that company and jurisdiction.
03
We identify any inconsistencies between what you were given and the official record.
04
You receive a structured Buyer Verification Report.
RECOMMENDED FOR
When this check earns its place
- Trading with a new buyer for the first time
- Receiving an order from a company you haven’t dealt with before
- A high-value transaction where the counterparty’s identity matters
- Buyer information that raises questions or doesn’t quite add up
- Before agreeing to any credit or deferred-payment terms
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
To get started
- Buyer’s legal or trading name and country
- Any documents received from the buyer (invoices, letterheads, ID of the contact person, correspondence)
- The contact details you were given (email, phone, website)

Standard
€60
Confirms the company’s official registration, status, and core details, and checks them against the contact information you were given.

PRACTICAL BENEFITS
What it does for you
- Reduces the risk of dealing with a misused or misrepresented company identity.
- Surfaces inconsistencies before you commit to shipment or payment terms.
- Gives you a documented basis for your commercial decision, not just a gut feeling.
- Saves the time of chasing registry records yourself across an unfamiliar jurisdiction.
What this service does not include
- It does not guarantee that the buyer will pay or perform the contract.
- It is not a credit or financial risk rating (see Deal & Payment Terms Assessment for deal-level risk).
- It does not constitute legal advice or a legal opinion on the counterparty.
- ExportWay is not a law firm, insurer, or government authority, and this report is not issued by one.
Typical turnaround: communicated once your case is reviewed and confirmed in your quote.
FAQ
Questions we’re often asked.
Does verification guarantee the buyer will pay?
No. It reduces uncertainty and highlights inconsistencies or risk indicators — it is not a payment guarantee.
What if the buyer has little or no online presence?
This is treated as a risk indicator and reflected clearly in your report.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. Client and transaction data are handled confidentially and used only for the purpose of the requested service.
