What a listing
actually gets you.
ChinaMakersHub is built for Greater Bay Area manufacturers who do real export work and want to be found by serious international buyers — not lost in a marketplace of fifty thousand near-identical profiles. A listing is not an advert. It is a verified showcase, an inquiry channel, and an invoicing structure, run by an operator that already exports for factories like yours.
Who a CMH listing is built for.
CMH is deliberately small and curated. We are not trying to list every factory in Guangdong; we are building a directory a buyer can trust precisely because it is short. That means a listing suits a specific kind of factory: one that genuinely manufactures (not a trading company), that already does or wants to do export-grade work, and that is willing to be audited on site by our Foshan operations team.
If that is your factory, the problem you most likely have is not capability — it is visibility. Excellent workshops are routinely out-marketed by lower-tier competitors who can afford to flood the large marketplaces with profiles and undercut on price. CMH exists to give a capable factory a publishing channel that reflects what it can actually do, in front of buyers who are looking for exactly that.
Six things a listing delivers.
Every item below is concrete and observable — not a marketing promise. This is what the subscription buys.
A free English showcase page
We build and host your factory profile in clean, native-quality English — capacity, certifications, equipment, categories, photographs from the audit visit. You do not write it, translate it, or pay extra for it. It is SEO-indexed so buyers searching for your category can find you.
Qualified inquiries, routed directly
Buyer inquiries are read by our Foshan team and routed straight to your sales contact — no marketplace black box. You receive briefs with product, volume, market and timeline already specified, so you can quote a real number instead of chasing a vague lead.
Hong Kong invoicing & DBS collection
Orders can be invoiced and settled through our Hong Kong entity, banked with DBS. Buyers pay a Hong Kong company in their own currency; we handle the upstream RMB settlement to you. Cross-border friction that costs you deals simply disappears.
The CMH Verified mark
Once you pass the on-site audit, your profile carries a dated CMH Verified record. To a buyer comparing suppliers, an independently audited factory with a named auditor outranks a self-declared one every time. The mark is credibility you cannot self-issue.
Zero commission on orders
We take no percentage of your orders and add no markup to your quotes. The price you give the buyer is the price they pay. Our revenue is the annual subscription — once you have paid it, every order you win through CMH is yours in full.
An operator in your corner
CMH is run by sourcing operators, not a software team. When a program gets complex — specifications, samples, consolidation, QC — our Foshan team helps move it forward, in Mandarin, on the ground. You gain an export partner, not just a directory entry.
Early factories list free.
CMH launched its public platform in 2026, and the directory is still being built. The factories that join during this founding phase are the ones who carry the platform’s credibility while it grows — so we treat them accordingly.
Founding factories receive a full listing — the English showcase page, the on-site audit, the CMH Verified mark, and routed inquiries — with the annual subscription waived for the founding period. There is no commission on orders during this period and none after it; the commission-free model is permanent, not an introductory offer. When standard subscription pricing is introduced for new factories, founding members keep their founding terms.
This is not a discount gimmick. It reflects a simple fact: a directory is only as valuable as the factories in it, and the first capable workshops to commit deserve the better deal. If you are considering CMH, joining now is materially cheaper than joining later.
How a factory joins.
The application is a short, four-step form. It exists so we can understand your factory before scheduling an audit — it is not a sales funnel, and there is no cost to apply.
Apply
Complete the four-step factory application with your basics, categories and capacity.
Document review
We review your licence, export status and certification claims, then contact you.
On-site audit
Our Foshan team visits, walks the line, and runs the seven-stage verification.
Go live
We build your English profile, publish it with the audit date, and route inquiries.
The full verification standard is described on the Verification Process page. Factories that do not pass an audit are not published — we will tell you exactly why, and you are welcome to address the gap and request a re-visit.
