Guangzhou Hongbo Signage Co., Ltd.

What is established and what is not

• legal: confirmed (basis: official-record, company-provided) - The legal entity behind this card is 广州弘博标识有限公司 (Guangzhou Hongbo Signage Co., Ltd.), unified social credit code 91440101MA5CJ5TM98, incorporated 2018-10-22 and registered at 广州市花都区炭步镇布溪村坭头大路16号101室 in Huadu District, Guangzhou. The company sent us a copy of its business licence, and we checked that licence against the issuing authority's own electronic record rather than taking the copy at face value: the Guangzhou Municipal Market Supervision Administration publishes the same entity under the same code, with a digital signature. Limits: The address on the licence is the registered address of the legal entity, not a production site; This establishes which company the card describes; it says nothing about what the company makes; The registered capital and the name of the legal representative appear on the licence but are not yet stored on this card
• manufacturing: not-established (basis: official-record, company-provided) - China's national register classifies this legal entity under manufacturing: the industry category on its state electronic licence is 其他制造业, other manufacturing, under the national industry classifier. That is how the registrar files the entity, and it is filed from the business scope the company itself states when registering, so it is not by itself evidence that a factory exists. No state document ties this registration number to a verified production site. A separately registered company with a closely similar name, Guangzhou Xinhongbo Signage Co., Ltd., holds an officially accepted environmental assessment for a signage factory in the same town; the relationship between the two companies is not established. Limits: An industry category is assigned from the scope the company declares at registration and is not verified by the registrar, so it does not confirm manufacturing on its own; The environmental record belongs to another legal entity and is not attributed to this one; The factory address in that record differs from this company's registered address; only the town is shared; No pollution permit or registration was found under this company's number, which does not mean none exists: small sites may be registered rather than licensed Next: The corporate record of the similarly named company, and a reading of both layers of the national pollution platform, would settle whether a production site belongs to this company
• people: not-established (basis: official-record) - The state electronic licence records one person in the legal representative role for this company. The name itself is not stored on this card, so no person is identified here. Limits: A legal representative is not necessarily the owner or the beneficial owner; Nothing connects the person who wrote to us with the person named on the licence Next: The legal representative's name and the shareholder list are still to be read from the state record
• licences: not-established (basis: our-observation) - No permit, certification or trade registration has been established for this company. The national pollution permit platform, the Guangzhou foreign-trade operator lists and the US medical device establishment register were searched under this company's name and number without a match. Limits: Compulsory product certification does not apply to signage manufacture, so its absence says nothing about this company; The Guangzhou outdoor advertising permit licenses the placement of a sign, not its manufacture, so it cannot evidence a factory; The pollution platform keeps a permit layer and a registration layer; neither was queried from inside its own form Next: Both layers of the pollution platform remain to be queried under this company's number
• finance: not-established (basis: our-observation) - No financial record, tax irregularity or debt enforcement entry has been established for this company. One register was searched and returned nothing; three others did not respond to our request. Limits: The national enterprise credit system, the public credit platform and the enforcement register were not read, so no conclusion is drawn from their silence; No administrative penalty record was found, but the searches that would settle this were not completed Next: Readings of the national enterprise credit system and the enforcement register remain outstanding
• risk: not-established (basis: official-record, our-observation) - Two contradictions and one clear result. The company's website presents over thirteen years of experience, which points to about 2013, while the state register gives 2018-10-22 as the date of incorporation; the register wins on the age of the legal entity, and the longer claim is the company's own. Separately, the consolidated sanctions and debarment datasets were searched and returned no match for this company. Limits: A sanctions search by name is not full compliance screening; An earlier predecessor company could explain the longer claim, but no state record before 2018 was found for this name; Chinese regulatory and credit misconduct lists live in separate systems that did not respond to our requests Next: A reading of the national credit lists under this company's number would complete the risk picture
• courts: not-established (basis: our-observation) - No insolvency case for this company was found in China's national bankruptcy register. Enforcement proceedings could not be checked: that register returned no result to our request. Limits: Absence from an indexed search is not proof that no case exists; The enforcement and defaulter lists were not read at all, so nothing is claimed about them Next: A direct read of the enforcement register is still outstanding for this company
• procurement: not-established (basis: official-record) - This company's exact legal name appears among the shortlisted suppliers for a state-owned buyer's safety signage purchase, published 23 Dec 2025 by China National Aviation Fuel for its Guangzhou airport fuel station, project G1100005013012239. The publication does not carry the supplier's registration number, so the identity is not anchored. Limits: A name match without a registration number does not identify a company: many Chinese companies carry closely similar names; Even once identity is anchored, a supply shortlist evidences supply, not manufacture Next: An award document carrying the supplier's registration number would turn this into a confirmed contract record
• trademarks: not-established (basis: our-observation) - Trademark and patent ownership for this company has not been established: the Chinese national intellectual property registers returned no result to our request. Limits: This is not a finding that the company owns no trademarks; the register was not read; We did not search by the legal representative's personal name: that name is common in China and a match on it would not identify this company Next: A reading of the national trademark register under this company's number remains outstanding
• inspections: not-established (basis: official-record) - No state inspection, spot check or administrative penalty has been found for this company in the published supervision records of Guangdong and Guangzhou. The environmental record found nearby belongs to a different legal entity. Limits: Only published lists were searched; the provincial query systems were not read, so no absence is asserted; The environmental record is not attributed to this company Next: A query of the provincial market supervision system under this company's number remains outstanding

A facet absent from this list has not been investigated. Absence of a statement is never a confirmation.
