05 / Frequently asked questions

A better sourcing decision starts
with the right questions.

A few important considerations to clarify before approaching a new supplier or manufacturing partner.

What information is useful to start a sourcing search?

Share the type of product or component, specifications, target quantities, intended market, timeline, and any key quality or commercial requirements. Initial details help define a useful search scope.

Can you explore manufacturing options in Europe and Southeast Asia?

WAJ Advisor focuses on connecting European and Southeast Asian businesses. Which countries, industries, and supplier types can be covered depends on your requirements and the agreed scope.

Does identifying a supplier mean that the factory is fully verified?

No. A shortlist or initial capability review is not the same as an independent factory audit, certification review, or quality inspection. Where needed, specialist verification should be arranged separately.

Can you help with quotations, samples, and production coordination?

Initial communication and coordination around proposals, samples, or production questions may be supported if included in the engagement. Contracting, inspections, shipping, customs, and regulatory compliance require appropriate specialist input.

Do you guarantee production timelines or supplier performance?

No. Capacity, commercial terms, lead times, and product quality depend on the chosen supplier and the agreed arrangements. WAJ Advisor can support clearer evaluation and communication, but does not guarantee supplier outcomes.
