Partner Program
Partner with Sinolinks
A referral program for institutions whose members or clients do business with Chinese suppliers. We provide independent due diligence; you provide the trusted relationship.
Who Partners
Institutions whose members trade with China.
The Sinolinks Partner Program is a referral framework for institutions whose members or clients do business with Chinese companies — and need them verified. That includes chambers of commerce and sectoral associations, banks and trade-credit insurers, trade-finance providers, customs brokers and freight forwarders, trade lawyers, corporate KYC and onboarding teams, investment-promotion agencies, government trade bodies, and any institution whose work brings them up against the need to verify a Chinese supplier.
Members redeem a partner-specific code at checkout for a discount on Sinolinks verification reports. The institution earns commission on every redemption.
What Partners Get
Four things, no fine print.
Verification your members can rely on
Each report is produced by an independent China advisory practice and reviewed by our lead expert before delivery. Reports draw on official Chinese registry data and regulatory filings, summarized in plain language for a non-Chinese-speaking reader.
Built around your members' work
Institutional code, member-side discount, partner-side commission. Simple to communicate through your existing channels — newsletter, members' portal, member-benefits page, conference handout.
Transparent reconciliation
Reconciled statement at the close of each calendar quarter. Each partner code's redemption history is independently auditable through the payment processor.
No exclusivity, no lock-in
Thirty-day termination either side, no cause needed. Logo usage is mutual and non-exclusive.
How It Works
From application to payout.
