Executive Summary
- Legitimacy: Verified registration details provided; further beneficiary verification required before deposit
- Capability: Suitable for aluminum welding + powder coating; confirm max table size and monthly capacity
- Quality risk: Medium — coating performance, glass supply chain, and cover fabric specs must be locked

Checks Completed
- Business registration documents reviewed (redacted)
- Product range and BOM-level capability review
- Process review: welding, pretreatment, powder coating, assembly, packing
- Risk review: timeline, rework process, packaging, communication
Key Technical Points to Confirm
- Aluminum grade and wall thickness (frame durability)
- Pretreatment method + coating thickness targets
- Powder: outdoor grade; adhesion and corrosion resistance evidence
- Hardware: stainless vs plated; rust risk in humid climates
- Glass: tempered, thickness (e.g., 5–8mm) and edge finish; supplier traceability
- Covers: UV resistance, water resistance rating, seam sealing, zipper quality
Documents Requested
- Coating spec sheet + MSDS (powder)
- Salt spray / corrosion test evidence (if available)
- Tempered glass certification/test report (if applicable)
- Packaging spec (cartons, foam, corner protectors)
- Spare parts list and warranty terms
Red Flags / Risks
- Colour consistency across batches if powder lots change
- Transit damage risk for glass tops without correct edge protection
- Cover fabric claims without test-backed specs
- Lead time risk if frames and coating are outsourced
Next Steps

- Schedule pre-shipment inspection before final payment
