Verified Supplier Shortlist

The Verified Supplier Shortlist is a GEB service that turns your sourcing criteria into a short, comparable list of credible suppliers you can approach with confidence.

Open marketplaces give you thousands of listings and no judgement. You still have to work out who is real, who can deliver and who is worth a call. We do that filtering for you.

We search against your specification, check the suppliers against your criteria, and compare them side by side. You receive a tight shortlist with a clear rationale, the known gaps, and the questions to ask each one.

Price: From $6,900 (final price on scoping). Turnaround: 5–10 working days · 48-hour urgent option available. Languages: English or Simplified Chinese.

The verdict you get: Closes with a clear GEB verdict — proceed with this route, adjust the approach, or look elsewhere — plus a confidence level and the one risk that matters most. Not a data dump; a decision.

What you receive

• A ranked shortlist of credible suppliers matched to your criteria
• A side-by-side comparison on the factors that matter to you
• What is known, declared and still unverified for each
• The right questions to put to each supplier
• A recommended order of approach

Best for

• Buyers who know what they need and want vetted options fast
• Importers and manufacturers replacing or adding a supplier
• Procurement teams without the bandwidth to filter the market themselves

Not for: Not a guarantee of supplier performance. We organise evidence and judgement; physical inspection and contracting remain your decision.

Frequently asked questions

What is a verified supplier shortlist?

A short, comparable list of credible suppliers selected against your sourcing criteria, with a rationale and the open questions for each, so you can move straight to qualified conversations.

Do you verify the suppliers?

We check suppliers against your criteria and flag what is known, declared and still unverified. For physical product checks we point you to inspection partners.

How many suppliers are on the list?

Typically a focused set of strong matches rather than a long directory. Quality and comparability matter more than volume.
