SMEs Save Time and Reduce Costs When Buying or Outsourcing Services in the UK with The Resource Broker

July 22, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
The Resource Broker business services marketplace has been launched to help small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) reduce costs and save time when buying services and outsourcing projects, jobs and tasks. Membership and use of the UK-based site is free and available to SMEs in all industry sectors.

The Resource Broker works by matching buyers with suitable suppliers. SMEs simply describe their requirements at www.theresourcebroker.com – with the option of specifying a guideline price and deadline – receive competitive bids and then choose a supplier.

Steve Christian, Managing Director of The Resource Broker, comments, "The onus has always been on SMEs to research and then methodically contact each potential supplier in turn to explain their requirements, which can be very time-consuming and often produces unsatisfactory results.

"The Resource Broker has been launched to streamline the process, reduce costs and put buyers in control. Our members outline their needs and then receive business proposals in their inboxes, so they can evaluate and then choose the most appropriate supplier at their leisure, and focus on their core business activities without distraction."

The Resource Broker gives businesses the tools to purchase or outsource almost any service, from accountancy, graphic design and marketing to office services, training and website development.

Four Steps to Outsourcing or Buying Services with The Resource Broker:
1. Sign-up for a free membership at www.theresourcebroker.com

3. Receive competitive bids
4. Choose a supplier!
The Resource Broker business model means that membership and use of the site is completely free for SMEs buying services. Steve Christian adds, "The Resource Broker is a win-win for both buyers and suppliers of services. Buyers can find suppliers with the minimum fuss and at lower prices, whilst suppliers can find new clients and win new business."
