| Know before using | This is general association guidance and a route to a separate directory, not selection, audit, representation, contracting, or legal advice. Member-only access does not establish a manufacturer's suitability. Apply the guidance to the actual product and verify the legal and production entities, site, capabilities, capacity, samples, compliance, specifications, price, terms, and remedies. | A profile, proposal, match, or escrow status does not establish factory ownership, identity, capacity, workmanship, quality systems, labour or chemical compliance, delivery performance, contract enforceability, or project fit. Verify the legal and production entities, references, site and subcontracting, samples, compliance evidence, specifications, terms, and remedies directly. |

| What the source establishes | UKFT's current page links free guides, templates, frequently asked questions, advice, and case studies for working with UK manufacturers through the Let's Make It Here directory. The page also states that some downloadable resources are reserved for UKFT members and require a membership check. | Sewport's current brand workflow starts with an account and guided project enquiry, then exposes proposals from garment factories and production specialists. The platform tells brands to compare profiles, portfolios, location, price, and communication, then record service, delivery, payment, and contract terms in a formal proposal. Its service-provider workflow includes factories, sample studios, pattern cutters, tech-pack makers, sourcing specialists, and material suppliers, with optional split-payment escrow. |
