Simple Sourcing
Simple Sourcing: one fixed fee, one product category.

Single Country Sourcing
One country, one product category.
Best for a focused launch in a country you have already chosen.
Dual Country Sourcing
Two countries, one product category.
Best for comparing two countries before you commit.
Anywhere But China Sourcing
Multiple countries, excluding China, one product category.
Best for diversifying your supply chain or exiting China.
Global Sourcing
Any country in the world, including China, one product category.
Best for finding the strongest option anywhere, China included.
Each package is one fixed fee, shared on your call. Examples, deliverables, and FAQs live on the Simple Sourcing page.

The entire experience has been life-changing for me. I know I couldn't have tackled it without your help.
How It Works
From kickoff to handoff.
Five steps from your first call to manufacturing, and exactly what you receive along the way. At the end, the factory relationship is yours, not ours.
Kickoff call
We map your product, target markets, volumes, and the things you cannot compromise on.
We source and vet
Our team on the ground finds and vets factories that actually fit, then pulls real quotes.
Your sourcing report
A full report with supplier profiles, original factory quotes with no markup, capabilities, certifications, and complete contact details.
Direct introductions
We connect you straight to the factories you choose, so communication is yours from day one.
You work direct
You own the relationship from the start. From here you order samples directly from the factory, and we support you through sampling at no extra cost. We never take a commission or mark up a quote.
Typical timeline: 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff to factory introductions. See our full process →

How we compare

Common Questions
The questions we hear most.
You pay one fixed fee for the project, agreed before we start. We do not take a commission on your orders and we do not add a markup to factory pricing. What the factory quotes is what you pay them, directly.
A traditional agent sits between you and the factory and earns a commission on everything you buy, which gives them a reason to keep that relationship gated. We are a sourcing company. We find and vet factories, introduce you directly, and hand you the relationship to own, with no commission and no middleman on your future orders.
Yes. We introduce you directly to the factories you choose and give you full contact details. You can work with them independently from there, or keep us involved through production if you prefer. There is no lock-in.
We have teams on the ground in Vietnam since 2014 and Mexico since 2023, and we have sourced from China since 2012. We also source across Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Moving production out of China is one of the most common projects we run.
Most projects run about 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff to factory introductions, depending on your product and how many factories we need to vet. We give you a realistic estimate on our first call rather than a number that sounds good but does not hold.
