How it works
Say it in your own words
“I need a new delivery vehicle.” “My insurance is up for renewal and I think I am paying too much.” “I need someone who can do CNC work in Gauteng.” No categories to pick through. Say it the way you would say it to somebody who works for you.
We check we understood you
Business Partner shows you what it understood before it does anything: what you need, how much, where, by when. Change anything that is wrong.
Nothing goes anywhere until you say so.
You get options and reasons
Business Partner shows you what it found and why each one is there. Where it can tell what something would actually cost, it says so. Sometimes the answer is no. No supplier here is good enough. Stay with the one you have. Wait for a better time. Those are real answers and Business Partner will give them.
You decide who to contact
Nothing is sent, and nobody is contacted, until you say so. You see exactly what would be shared before it goes.
Where the options come from
Some come from businesses on Market Network. Some come from outside it.
Options come from published sources as well as from businesses here, so this is not a network that only works once it is full. What you see depends on which sources cover what you need, and each option says where it came from and when we read it.
Where we might earn something from an option you choose, we say so on the option itself. It never changes the order things appear in or which one we recommend.
What it costs
Nothing. Saying what you need and getting options is free.
When you want a proper brief that suppliers can quote against, or you want three quotes put on the same basis so you can actually compare them, that is Market Desk.
Joining takes four questions and costs nothing.
Enter your email address and create a password. Answer a few questions about your business and your account is ready. We will also email you a link to confirm your address.
The account is free and stays free. Market Network never asks you to pay and there is no card to give us.
Everything named in the paragraph above needs an account, and none of it waits for a source.
