Running a business in the nutraceuticals space comes with unique opportunities—and significant compliance challenges. From product claims to international sales, failing to meet regulatory standards can put your entire operation at risk.
At Convesio, we believe that staying compliant is the key to sustainable growth. That’s why we’ve created this essential checklist, inspired by the questions we ask our own clients, to help you assess your readiness and protect your business.
Answer these quick questions to check your readiness and reduce your risk.
Product & Manufacturing Compliance
This is the foundation of your business. Without proper documentation and processes, your products could be flagged, leading to serious legal and financial consequences.
- Have you collected lab certifications for all raw ingredients and final product formulations?
- Have you documented your manufacturing partners and any audit or inspection records?
- Are your labeling and formulation review processes documented, including who is responsible for them and how often they are performed?
- Can you confirm that you do not sell raw drug ingredients or pharmaceutical intermediates?
International Compliance & Legal Readiness
Selling globally can open up new markets, but it also introduces a new set of complex legal challenges. Avoid costly mistakes by ensuring your business is ready for international scrutiny.
- Do you sell products only to countries where it is legal and approved?
- Do you have documentation on how you manage international compliance for each market?
- Have you completed or started the process for international regulatory registrations for all your markets?
- Is there a compliance or legal contact on file (either an internal team member or an external consultant)?
Corporate & Financial Integrity
The stability of your business goes beyond your products. Having transparent corporate and financial documentation is critical for building trust with partners, payment processors, and regulatory bodies.
- Have you submitted your entity ownership and corporate structure documents?
- Have you collected chargeback management policies and your monthly or annual dispute statistics?
- Have you disclosed any high-risk relationships, such as with banned or copied distributors (e.g., in China)?
