www.people4business.com is an online marketplace for the Buyers and Sellers of services.
We are the only web business in the UK that manages the entire process for buying and selling freelance, contracting and consulting services across all industries and job types.
Sellers of services register on people4business for FREE specifying their skills, availability and the hourly rate they require for their services.
People4business then validates the Seller's legal right to work in the United Kingdom and uploads their information onto the people4business search engine.
Buyers of services (who also register for FREE) can search the database of 1000's of Sellers for any of 5,500 unique skills. They can then sort list of Sellers by price, geographic location, availability, rating for previous assignments and skills match.
Registered Buyers can create shortlists of suitably qualified Sellers, contact them direct, negotiate, set up online contracts and manage electronic timesheets - all from their personal homepage.
People4business makes its money by uplifting the Seller's chosen rate by a flat management fee of 10% and it is this inclusive rate that appears on the people4business search engine - so what Buyers see is exactly what they pay with complete price transparency.
For their management fee of 10% people4business provide: marketing, development, customer service, contracts, timesheets, invoicing, credit control and guaranteed payments to Sellers - irrespective of whether or when people4business is paid for contracts by Buyers.
People4business is able to operate at a fraction of the traditional agency margin by combining a unique self-service model with complete automation of all back-office processes. This unique model can make a substantial reduction to the costs companies normally incur recruiting freelance, contracting and consultancy resource.
