August 5, 2026 — Amid increasingly complex multi-dimensional commercial cooperation,

equity investment, supply chain procurement and brand authorization scenarios, specialized

auxiliary commercial investigation services refer to targeted fact-finding work independent

of financial credit due diligence, enterprise judicial risk inquiry and reputation audit. This service

line is completely separated from all previously released business modules, including enterprise

establishment compliance, cross-border exhibition accompanying,cross-border e-commerce

dispute resolution, full-lifecycle contract management and credit restoration. Unlike credit

investigation that focuses on financial repayment capacity or background checks targeting

litigation records, this category covers niche commercial fact verification demands frequently

ignored by most legal and consulting institutions, solving information asymmetry hidden in daily

trading links that cannot be retrieved through national public credit platforms. Many enterprises

only check basic credit information of counterparties before cooperation but fail to verify hidden

operational facts, resulting in hidden losses such as supply chain fraud,brand infringement, hidden

affiliated transactions and breach of non-disclosure agreements.Professional auxiliary commercial

investigations fill this information gap by collecting objective,verifiable factual evidence to support

clients’ commercial decision-making.

 

The whole service matrix is divided into four independent core modules, each corresponding to

high-frequency hidden risks in modern commercial transactions: supply chain hidden risk

investigation, brand market infringement investigation, undisclosed affiliated enterprise tracing,

and post-contract obligation performance verification. All investigation procedures strictly abide

by China’s Personal Information Protection Law, Public Security Administration Punishment

Law and market supervision regulatory norms, and all evidence collected is legally admissible

for negotiation, arbitration and litigation use. Compliance of investigation methods

and legality of collected evidence are the primary prerequisites distinguishing formal commercial

investigation institutions from informal underground inquiry channels. Unregulated

private information collection will not only invalidate all evidence materials but also trigger

administrative penalties and civil compensation liabilities for both service providers and

entrusting enterprises, forming secondary legal risks on top of original transaction disputes.

 

Module One: Deep Supply Chain Hidden Risk Investigation

 

Most procurement enterprises only verify supplier business licenses and annual report data,

lacking in-depth verification of actual production capacity, raw material source authenticity

and subcontracting disclosure status. This leads to common industry risks: suppliers falsely

reporting factory scale, outsourcing all production to unqualified small workshops without

notification, mixing inferior raw materials into finished goods, or establishing multiple shell

companies to split orders and evade quality liability. Deep supply chain hidden risk

investigation adopts on-site unannounced factory visits, production line capacity verification,

raw material upstream traceability and subcontractor qualification cross-check to restore the

true operation status of suppliers. Our investigators conduct standardized field

surveys of production workshops, warehouse storage, quality inspection laboratories and

logistics delivery links, record image and written evidence, and cross-verify with industrial

and tax filing data to identify inconsistent information between public registration materials

and actual operation. For import and export suppliers, we additionally verify customs declaration

records, commodity inspection reports and foreign exchange settlement vouchers to rule out

fake export qualifications and counterfeit product risks. The final investigation report clearly

marks risk grading, lists verifiable supporting evidence, and puts forward targeted supplier

rectification or replacement suggestions for entrusting buyers.

 

Module Two: Omni-Channel Brand Infringement Investigation

 

For brand owners engaged in physical goods, cosmetics, electronic products and apparel,

unauthorized counterfeiting, unlicensed parallel import sales, storefront trademark counterfeiting

and online cross-platform infringement are persistent pain points that damage market share

and brand reputation. Traditional rights protection only relies on brand owners’ self-supervision,

with limited coverage of offline wholesale markets, small retail stores, live streaming e-commerce

and overseas grey market sales channels. Our brand infringement investigation service realizes

full-scene infringement clue collection covering offline physical channels and online digital

platforms. Investigators simulate ordinary consumers to conduct mystery purchases,

record purchase videos, retain counterfeit samples, sort out store operation subject information,

and trace the upstream supply source of infringing goods. All collected infringement evidence

complies with the evidence preservation standards of market supervision bureaus and intellectual

property courts, which can be directly submitted for administrative complaint filing,mediation

negotiation or intellectual property litigation. We also regularly track the sales volume and profit

scale of infringing products, calculate the actual economic losses suffered by the brand,and provide

data support for claiming compensation in rights protection procedures.

 

Module Three: Undisclosed Affiliated Enterprise & Actual Controller Tracing

 

In investment cooperation, project bidding and debt guarantee scenarios, many counterparties

deliberately conceal related party relationships and actual controllers to transfer assets, evade

bidding qualification restrictions and avoid debt repayment obligations. Public credit platforms

only display explicitly registered affiliated enterprises, while indirect holding relationships

through multiple layers of shell companies, kinship-controlled hidden entities and entrusted

shareholding structures cannot be retrieved through open channels. Undisclosed affiliated

enterprise tracing integrates industrial and commercial equity penetration analysis,legal

representative kinship cross-verification, bank account transaction flow sorting and business

address overlap comparison to map the complete hidden interest chain of target entities. This

service helps clients identify hollow shell companies set up for asset transfer, avoid signing

cooperation agreements with entities controlled by defaulting debtors,and prevent the risk of

joint liability concealment in guarantee and equity transfer transactions.The tracing report draws

a visual equity and interest relationship diagram, marks each hidden affiliated entity and actual

controller, and attaches corresponding registration and transaction evidence for review by the

client’s legal and investment teams.

 

Module Four: Post-Contract Obligation Performance Verification Investigation

 

After signing service, licensing and non-disclosure agreements, many counterparties secretly

violate core contractual obligations without obvious default manifestations, such as disclosing

confidential business data to competitors, using licensed trademarks beyond the agreed territory,

and reducing agreed service manpower standards without written notification. Ordinary contract

management can only identify obvious payment and delivery defaults, while hidden breach of

obligations lacks effective supervision means. Our performance verification investigation adopts

regular unannounced spot checks, confidential information leakage clue tracing and third-party

objective data cross-comparison to confirm whether the counterparty strictly fulfills all agreed

contractual clauses. Once hidden breach behaviors are confirmed, we sort out complete evidence

chains to support the client in issuing breach notices, negotiating liquidated damages or filing

arbitration claims.

 

Different from fragmented single-item inquiry services available online, our auxiliary commercial

investigation system builds a closed-loop service of pre-investigation compliance plan formulation,

on-site standardized evidence collection, post-investigation formal report output and evidence

sorting for rights protection. All investigation work strictly references national public inquiry

platforms to guarantee objectivity and authenticity of factual conclusions. To ensure all data

sources and compliance standards are traceable to official authorities, we rely on four national

authoritative public service platforms for cross-verification during the whole investigation process,

all hyperlinks are real and accessible:

1.  National Intellectual Property Administration Public Inquiry Platform (Trademark, Patent

4.  Ministry of Public Security Online Public Security Service Platform (Personal Information

In commercial practice, most enterprises only carry out superficial public information inquiries

before cooperation and ignore deep auxiliary commercial investigations, leading to irreversible

economic losses after signing contracts. Our specialized auxiliary commercial investigation services

systematically resolve four core enterprise pain points: inability to verify hidden supply chain

production facts, difficulty in full-channel infringement clue collection,failure to identify multi-layer

hidden affiliated entities, and lack of supervision means for implicit post-contract breach of obligations.

By obtaining objective, legally valid factual evidence, we eliminate serious information asymmetry in

transactions, help enterprisesscreen high-risk counterparties in advance, cut off infringement and asset

transfer risks, and provide solid factual support for all types of commercial rights protection and investment

decision-making.
