Short answer
What you should know before deciding
A helpful review connects existence, powers, capacity, tax status, litigation, and verifiable experience.
Essential points
- Validate the exact entity and who it signs.
- Relates capacity to the promised service.
- Check references and relevant background.
- Scale the depth according to amount and risk.
01
Define the risk of contracting
A smaller supply does not require the same depth as a critical supplier with access to facilities, data or advances. Amount, continuity, regulation and substitution determine the scope.
02
Check the counterparty
Company name, RFC, address, registration acts and representative must be consistent. Confirm that the bank account, invoice and contract correspond to the reviewed entity.
03
Capacity and trajectory
Contracts, personnel, infrastructure, certifications and references must be related to the service. A business presentation is not a substitute for verifiable evidence.
04
External sources
Review tax publications, relevant litigation, bankruptcy proceedings, public procurement, sanctions and intellectual property when the profile warrants it.
05
Decision matrix
Classifies facts, uncertainties and mitigating factors. It may be recommended to ask for guarantees, adjust payments, limit access, perform a test or require clarifications; Not every discovery requires rejection.
