Expanding Globally How Do You Vet Your International Partners?

[jayicod]

Hi everyone,

I am currently in the middle of scaling my boutique's operations to include a few more high-end suppliers from Eastern Europe.

Since I pride myself on running a professional and established brand like Bag Habit, I want to make sure every single entity I wire money to is completely legitimate and recognized by their local tax authorities.

Dealing with luxury timepieces and jewelry leaves no room for error or "ghost" companies. Has anyone here used a professional business VAT verification service?

I'm looking for something that is reliable and gives me total peace of mind before I sign any major contracts.
Thanks in advance.
