saving time and money on your small business procurement
howmostsmallbusinessesprocure
when wanting to buy goods and services, most small business people will use search engines and other information portals to research suppliers and service providers that can fulfil their buying needs
they will send emails or call different suppliers to try and get the best possible products or services at the lowest possible price
most will probably not make it past 3 phone calls or 5 emails and between searching, calling and sending emails, most will have spent more than an hour doing so
is this time consuming process really the best way of going about it?

what if suppliers were to compete to fulfil your requirements, bidding to win your business and the business of other small businesses that have joined your request for quotes?
what if you can read what previous customers are saying about these suppliers, without having to make a single phone call or send a single email?
what if you were to save time, effort and costs on your purchasing? surely ‘you and your business will love it!’

it’s a new way of saving you valuable time and effort on the task of buying goods and services for your business
it’s a new way of exploiting the sheer power of the number of small businesses in your locality…which will increase buying power and give small businesses the opportunity to save costs on purchases…tremendously
