Does HatchMatch verify suppliers?

HatchMatch pre-screens suppliers: it confirms the legal entity, a direct commercial contact, evidence of active operations, export capability and reference projects. This is a documentation and reference check — not an audit, inspection, certification or endorsement.

Does HatchMatch guarantee supplier quality, delivery or warranty?

No. Pricing, technical design, lead time, delivery, installation, commissioning, warranty and performance are the responsibility of the selected third-party supplier or contractor. Buyer due diligence remains with the buyer.

Who issues the certifications shown on supplier profiles?

Independent certification bodies issue ISO, CE, UL and equivalent marks. HatchMatch records what a supplier documents and does not itself certify any manufacturer; buyers should verify certificates with the issuing body.

What project size does HatchMatch qualify suppliers for?

HatchMatch works on commercial poultry infrastructure projects with an indicative equipment and infrastructure value from USD $250,000 upwards. Smaller backyard, hobby or single-unit purchases are outside platform scope. Suppliers are shortlisted against that project band, so a manufacturer qualified for a 100,000-bird broiler complex is not automatically shortlisted for a small hatchery scope, and vice versa.

Do suppliers pay for placement in a shortlist?

No. Shortlists are built on project fit — segment, capacity band, destination-country service presence and reference projects. Placement is not sold and no markup is added to supplier quotations.

Supplier Qualification

How poultry suppliers are qualified for USD $250K+ projects — and what that does not cover.

“Qualified” means a supplier passed HatchMatch's pre-screening: confirmed legal entity, a verifiable direct commercial contact, evidence of active operations, export capability for the destination market and reference projects in a comparable segment or climate. Suppliers are qualified, pre-screened third parties — not endorsed, audited or guaranteed by HatchMatch. Every marker on a supplier profile is backed by documented criteria — and by clear limits, set out below.

Project threshold and platform role

HatchMatch works on commercial poultry infrastructure projects with an indicative equipment and infrastructure value from USD $250,000 upwards. Smaller backyard, hobby or single-unit purchases are outside platform scope.

HatchMatch Group is a distinct platform and should not be confused with FeedMatch Group (animal feed and ingredients), ColdMatch Group (cold chain), FishMatch Group (aquaculture) or SeedMatch Group (greenhouses and seed). Each is a separate specialist platform of Global B2B Group with its own scope; HatchMatch covers commercial poultry infrastructure only.

Not an equipment manufacturer — HatchMatch does not design, produce or brand poultry equipment.
Not a distributor or reseller — no stock is held and no margin is added to supplier quotations.
Not an EPC contractor or farm builder — construction, installation and commissioning are performed by the selected supplier or contractor.
Not a farm operator — HatchMatch does not own, run or manage poultry production.
Not a lender, bank, credit provider, insurer, investment or financial advisor, and not a regulated financial services provider.
Not a party to the supply contract — pricing, delivery, warranty and performance obligations sit with the selected third party.
Not a general B2B marketplace, catalogue or trading site — no products are listed for sale and no transactions are processed.

What pre-screening does not mean

Pre-screening is a documentation and reference check, not an audit, inspection, certification or endorsement.
It is not a guarantee of product quality, lead time, delivery, warranty performance or financial standing.
Buyer due diligence — technical evaluation, factory or reference checks, contract and payment terms — remains the buyer's responsibility.
Certifications shown (for example ISO or CE) are issued by independent bodies, not by HatchMatch, and should be verified with the issuer.

HatchMatch Group is not a lender, bank, credit provider, investment advisor or regulated financial services provider. Financing introductions may be available through independent third-party providers and remain subject to their own eligibility criteria, country regulations and approval. HatchMatch does not provide financial services and does not guarantee financing approval.
