Our B2B marketplace is an online platform that brings together quality products, distributors and retailers globally where they can showcase or find products and conduct business directly in a single location. We help companies expand internationally in a much more time and cost-efficient way by putting them in contact with the right business partners in their target market. Through our exclusive B2B platform brands can present their products directly to the retail and distributor buyers and if there is a good match the buyer lists their products and the partnership begins. Next to connecting with buyers, our platform allows them to receive orders directly. We also provide escrow services through which both parties (sellers and buyers) can engage in business with peace of mind.
