Benefits of buying from a manufacturer instead of a trading company

1. Better prices

Manufacturers offer better prices than trading companies. Working directly with factories without having to go through additional agents and having other additional costs generally gives you lower prices. This is especially true if you buy a certain quantity.

2. Lower risk

The risk is usually higher and the product quality is less consistent when buying from trading companies in China. Many trading companies are not as transparent in the way they do business. An example of this is that many trading companies display misleading information on Alibaba or on their own websites, or post fake photos and videos. They often try to appear as producers, as they know that this is what foreign companies are looking for.

3. Better control

You get more control over your products when you communicate directly with the factory that is responsible for making your products in China. This saves you a lot of time communicating through a trading company. They are fewer intermediaries, which in turn means fewer misunderstandings and faster delivery of the products.

 4. Less problems with patent and trademark protection

China has a first-to-file system for intellectual property such as patents and trademarks. Those who apply in China first own it first. Many Chinese companies take advantage of this system and apply for patents and trademark protection before foreign companies do it themselves in China.

There is a greater chance that your product ideas and trademarks will be copied and stolen due to the fact that there are several companies involved in the project when you work with trading companies.

 5. Better business relationships

As a buyer of the products, you get a closer relationship with the manufacturers. You can later visit the Chinese manufacturer to negotiate better prices, other payment terms, new product ideas and to learn about the production process.

If a manufacturer delivers poor quality products on one of your orders, you have a better chance of solving that problem or getting a refund when you have direct contact with the manufacturer in China. 

 To sum up, Working with a factory directly gives you one major advantage: you have a more direct line of communication with the factory. When a problem occurs or when you are trying to customize a product it will be easier to communicate with the factory (opposed to a trading company who will essentially be a filter between you and the factory). Working with factories also affords you potentially the lowest prices, especially if you are ordering a reasonable quantity.
