1. Is this a real company in the USA?

2. Is this a good company for us to enter into a relationship with?

This should be your first step. Search Engines like Google is the easiest and the most credible way to check information of a company. You can find all information about a company on the web by using Google.

Just input brand name + keywords in Google search box.

For example:
