NEW YORK, NY, April 17, 2001—Simply-Biz.com, Inc. announced today the launch of its online business-to-business service portal. The company provides a wide range of business services to firms of all sizes. Currently, there are nearly thirty services provided through best-of-breed vendors, ranging from commercial collections and mortgage financing, to asset-based lending, to asset-locating for judgment holders, to payroll. Other services such as corporate interior decorating and catering are also provided.

The list of vendors continues to grow. “When considering a vendor to partner with us,” says CEO Jacques Chard-Marie-Sainte, “we apply very stringent selection criteria. We know that the success of our service rests upon the quality of our vendors.” Because of the company’s high selection standards, every user who enters the web site can feel confident that their service inquiry will be channeled to a vendor that is appropriate to their needs. For example, a company with sales in the range of $3 million or more, looking for factoring, would be linked up with a factor specializing in firms with sales in that range, as opposed to firms with a lower sales volume.

The founders of Simply-Biz.com developed the idea for a business service portal because they recognized that identifying appropriate service providers is a difficult and lengthy process. “We knew that the selection process is a time-consuming and costly task, and when businesses are consumed in their daily activities, they don’t always have the time to do the kind of meticulous research that is necessary. We do the legwork,” said Chard-Marie-Sainte. Currently, all vendors are based in the United States, but future plans call for expansion into the global market.

There is no fee for entering the web site, and the site is easy to navigate.
