Before you sign

A background check on your Indian counterpart

A website, a brochure and a confident video call tell you very little. Before you send a deposit, ship a mould or sign a joint venture, it is worth knowing who is actually on the other side, and whether the factory in the photographs belongs to them.

What the registers say

Company master data from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, incorporation date, registered address, paid-up capital, the directors and their identification numbers, charges registered against the company and whether annual filings are up to date. Plus GST registration, the import-export code if they claim to export, and cross-directorships.

What they would rather you did not find

Court and tribunal searches, insolvency proceedings, disqualified directors, and sanctions and politically-exposed-person screening. Our colleague Christy holds the CAMS qualification and has more than six years of AML/KYC experience. Where something needs a lawyer, we say so and you involve one.

Someone goes there

Where agreed, someone visits the address. Photographs, how many people actually work there, what machines are on the floor, whether the claimed capacity exists, and whether the registered office is a plant or a single room above a shop.

We report facts and name our sources. A background check is an organisational plausibility check. It does not replace a credit rating, an audit or legal due diligence by a lawyer. Fee on request.

FAQ

Germany → India, common questions

How do you find and vet partners in India?

We work with an established network on the ground in India and personally vet partners for reliability and fit. You get introductions to serious counterparts, not a random list.

Can you check an Indian company before we do business with them?

Yes. We pull the company master data from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (incorporation, registered address, paid-up capital, directors, registered charges, whether annual filings are current), check GST and import-export registration, run court, insolvency and sanctions searches, and, where agreed, somebody goes to the address and reports what is there. We report facts and name our sources. It is an organisational plausibility check, not a credit rating and not legal due diligence.

Can you help with recruitment of skilled workers from India?

Yes, seriously and compliantly. Recruitment, placement and visa matters are regulated, so we handle them together with the appropriate licensed partners while we manage the relationship and cultural bridge.

What kind of products or materials can you help source?

We help you identify reliable Indian suppliers and manage quality and communication. Tell us what you need and we'll map the realistic options.

Why work with you rather than going direct?

Because the gap is rarely the price, it's trust, communication and culture. We give you a German point of contact who understands India, so fewer things go wrong and decisions move faster.

What does it cost?

Our fee depends on the scope and complexity of your project. You receive an individual quotation before you commission us.
