Vendor due diligence

Vendor due diligence checklist for a Chilean supplier.

Generic vendor due diligence checklists don't cover Chile's identity system, registries or tax documents. This one does.

Six checks

What to verify before you onboard.

  1. 01

    Legal identity

    Confirm the exact legal name and RUT of the entity that will sign — not a trading name or brand.

  2. 02

    Registry status

    Check whether the company is active, its registration route (electronic RES or traditional Commercial Registry) and who is authorized to represent it.

  3. 03

    Litigation & insolvency

    Screen the company and its principals for active court cases and Boletín Concursal (insolvency) filings.

  4. 04

    Financial capacity

    Request a current Carpeta Tributaria para Solicitar Créditos and review declared activity, tax consistency and financial trend.

  5. 05

    References

    Ask for at least two existing customer references, ideally one in your industry or geography.

  6. 06

    Operational fit

    Confirm capacity, certifications and delivery track record match the scope of what you are buying.

Chile-specific gaps a generic checklist misses.

Most vendor due diligence templates assume a US or EU registry system. Chile runs two parallel company registration routes, a tax ID (RUT) that anchors every record, and a free tax folder (Carpeta Tributaria) most global checklists never mention.

The result: teams either skip financial screening entirely, or ask for the wrong document.
