Trade runs on trust

A bad counterparty costs more than the invoice.

Credit reports tell you a company exists. Peer references tell you how it behaves: whether it pays, performs and resolves problems when a shipment is already at sea.

01

Before you extend terms

Net 30, net 60, open account. See whether other sellers were paid on time, from companies that actually invoiced them.

02

Before you ship goods

Containers leave your dock before the money arrives. Check a buyer's payment record and contract discipline first.

03

Before you send funds

Deposits and advance payments to an overseas supplier are hard to claw back. Check quality, delivery and dispute history.

Documents, not opinions

No paperwork, no reference.

Every trade reference is backed by the same documents you handle every day, and checked by a human compliance team before it is published.

  • 1

    A real person. Government-issued ID verification for every reviewer.

  • 2

    A real, active business. Incorporation documents plus one recent commercial document proving it trades.

  • 3

    A real relationship. Invoices, bills of lading, contracts or customs paperwork naming both companies.

Both sides of the border

Built for U.S. companies and the counterparties they trade with.

U.S. buyers & sellers

Importing from abroad? Selling to a new distributor?

  • Check an overseas supplier's delivery, quality and dispute record before you wire a deposit.
  • Vet a foreign buyer's payment behaviour before shipping on open account.
  • See whether a U.S. distributor pays exporters on time before you grant exclusivity.

Exporters & suppliers worldwide

Shipping to the U.S., or anywhere else?

  • Find out which American buyers honour terms before you extend credit.
  • Earn trust with the references your own customers write about you. You can claim your profile and correct company facts.
  • Stay protected: companies can dispute a reference privately, but never reply publicly or unmask reviewers.

Anonymous to the public. Never to us.

Honest references, because reviewers are protected.

Anonymity is built into the architecture, not painted on the page. Reviewer identity and evidence never share a database table with what you read.

Known to us

Verified reviewer

ID-checked person, KYB-verified business, commercial evidence on file.

Sealed

Compliance vault

Identity and evidence stay in private storage. Only compliance staff can open them, and every view is logged.

Public side

Anonymous reference

Only the scores and the vetted text are published. No reviewer ID, no company, no dates, no documents.

Reviewed companies can dispute a reference privately. There are no public replies, and the two sides are never put in contact.

Used across the trade chain.

From the factory floor to the trade-finance desk, anywhere a decision depends on who's on the other side.

Any B2B business

From search to decision.

  1. Step 1

    Search

    Find any company by name, trading name, website or registration number. Free, with typo-tolerant matching across legal forms and countries.

  2. Step 2

    Unlock

    If verified references exist you'll see the price up front. One payment unlocks the full report, and every future reference for that company.

  3. Step 3

    Decide

    Read the scores and anonymous references, then extend terms, ship, sign or send funds with real peer evidence behind you.

Questions, answered.

Only businesses that have completed verification: an ID-checked person, an incorporated and actively trading company, and proof they represent it. Each reference also needs commercial evidence, such as invoices, bills of lading, contracts, or customs and shipping paperwork, showing the two companies actually traded.

Every review comes from a verified business and requires evidence of a real commercial relationship. Reviews remain anonymous.
