Small Business Commerce Network to achieve B2B Commerce

CEO

I'm currently working on launching a new company that will create an environment where small businesses can post their purchasing requirements and these requirements be matched to business members meeting their requirements. It will work like an RFQ process but only the posting member will decide on which potential vendors they will contact.

There will be no membership costs and only usage costs to vendors if a transaction is successfully executed.

I need your help as business owners to tell me if this is a service that could be valuable to your company and solicit your ideas on how to structure the service.

You will see from my profile, I am a current business owner and my primary motivation for doing this is to help increase small business commerce and possibly improve our country's current jobless situation.

Please be frank, I need your help.

    Larry,
    I like your ideavery much. Would this be for goods and services? Here are a few more ideas:
    1. the business posting its requirements could enter their budget for the good or service
    2. prevent businesses from advertising their businesses by using the RFQ process to list their services, rather than a real request for quote.
