It’s important to clarify this upfront because there is often a misunderstanding around the onboarding fee. Paying for the vendor onboarding process does not automatically make a factory eligible. The payment allows the onboarding process to begin, but it does not guarantee that the factory will pass.
A factory’s onboarding status is determined only after the due diligence process is successfully completed.
When a factory applies, it is required to provide certain information as part of due diligence. This information forms the foundation of the evaluation process. At this stage, nothing is assumed. Every detail shared is reviewed carefully.
We do not simply rely on the information as submitted. The details provided during due diligence are verified and cross-referenced. This step is essential. The purpose of onboarding is not just to register factories, but to ensure that the vendor network remains credible and dependable.
Only when all the information provided by the factory has been successfully verified is the factory deemed to be on-boarded with Hula Global. Until that point, onboarding is still in progress.
It is worth repeating that payment is not approval. The onboarding fee does not override the due diligence process. Instead, it enables the verification process to take place. The final outcome depends entirely on whether the submitted information can be validated.
If the information provided during due diligence cannot be verified, or if it does not meet the required standards during cross-referencing, the factory does not pass the onboarding process.
This approach ensures consistency. Every factory is evaluated on the same basis. There are no automatic approvals and no exceptions made purely because a fee was paid.
The due diligence process exists to protect the integrity of the vendor network. Verification is not a formality; it is the deciding factor. A factory becomes officially on-boarded only after the verification stage is fully completed and confirmed.
From a factory’s perspective, this means transparency is important. The more accurate and complete the information provided during due diligence, the smoother the onboarding process tends to be. However, even then, approval depends on successful verification.
There is no “conditional onboarding” or temporary approval before verification. A factory is either successfully on-boarded after due diligence is completed, or it is not.
The structure is simple:
Payment allows onboarding to begin
Due diligence information is submitted
Information is verified and cross-referenced
Only after successful verification is onboarding confirmed
That is the sequence.
This ensures that every factory within the Hula Global network has gone through the same process. It also ensures that onboarding is not treated as a transactional step, but as a qualification process.
To summarise clearly:
No, not every factory passes the onboarding process. Paying for onboarding does not make a factory automatically eligible. Approval is determined strictly by the successful completion of the due diligence process. The information provided during that process is verified and cross-referenced, and only once everything is confirmed is the factory deemed to be on-boarded with Hula Global.
