How it works

Community first. Business next.

The order matters. You become a known, verified member of your industry community, and the business conversations follow from that standing rather than from a cold enquiry.

The journey

Five steps, the same for everyone

1

Create your profile

Register with your business email. Add your company, what you make or buy, the industries you serve and the markets you operate in.

2

Get verified

Submit your company details and trade documents once. Verification is what keeps anonymous accounts out of the communities.

3

Answer the questionnaire

Complete the assessment matched to your role and business type. Your answers are evaluated and become your rating, so other members can judge who they are dealing with.

4

Join your communities

With a rating in hand, follow the groups for your sector, take part in discussions, attend webinars and meet the owners working alongside you.

5

Do business

Post requirements or answer them, receive matched opportunities, and turn the relationship into repeat work.

Step three, in detail

Why we ask you to answer a questionnaire

Verification proves your company exists. It says nothing about whether you are good to deal with. The assessment is how a new member earns standing before anyone has traded with them, so you are not starting from zero on your first enquiry.

It is a one-time set of questions matched to your role and business type. Your answers are evaluated and produce your rating, which members see alongside your profile.

What to expect

  • Questions matched to your persona, whether you run the business or manage its procurement
  • A different set depending on whether you buy, supply, do both, or consult
  • Covers business compatibility and qualification, and your credibility as a counterparty
  • Save as you go and resume later; it does not have to be finished in one sitting
  • Produces a score that becomes the rating shown on your profile
  • Answered once, not repeated for every community you join
Both sides of the table

What it looks like day to day

Sellers on BizHorizons are SMEs. Buyers can be SMEs or large enterprises. Many members are both.

If you are buying or sourcing

  • Post a requirement with specifications, quantity and timeline
  • Receive matched suppliers instead of searching listings
  • Review verified profiles, capability and ratings before you engage
  • Ask your community about a supplier before committing
  • Compare responses and negotiate directly with the owner
  • Build a shortlist you can come back to next quarter
More for buyers

If you are selling or manufacturing

  • Build a profile that shows capability, capacity and certifications
  • List products or services with your minimum order and lead times
  • Browse open requirements in your sector, or get matched automatically
  • Respond with a proposal and track buyer interest
  • Earn standing in your community through discussions and answers
  • Convert first orders into long-running supply relationships

Under the hood

What makes the matching useful

Verification first

Company details and trade documents are checked before a member reaches the communities, so the pool itself is credible.

Weighted ratings

Ratings carry weight based on real activity, which keeps the strongest members visible instead of the loudest.

Automated matching

Buyer and seller matching runs on your stated capability and requirements, cutting the discovery time on both sides.

Good to know

Where our role ends

BizHorizons connects businesses and hosts the communities they meet in. Contracts, pricing, payment terms, shipping and delivery are agreed directly between the buyer and the supplier. We are not a party to those agreements and do not guarantee payment or performance on either side.

Full detail is in our Terms of Use. Our verification and conduct measures are described under Trust & Safety.
