How do I know if a manufacturer is legit?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check for business licenses, ISO certifications, and customer reviews. Ask for factory photos and arrange video calls or third-party inspections. Use verified platforms and avoid sending full payments via insecure methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-whats-the-minimum-i-need-to-get-started-with-a-manufacturer\"><strong>2. What\u2019s the minimum I need to get started with a manufacturer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At minimum, you need a clear product idea, specifications, target pricing, and initial budget. Most factories expect an MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity), which varies by product. A sourcing agent can help negotiate lower MOQs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-how-long-does-it-take-to-manufacture-a-product-overseas\"><strong>3.

Do I need to visit the manufacturer in person?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not necessarily. Many successful brands work with manufacturers remotely using sourcing agents and third-party inspectors.
