Companies that use RFPHere.com will receive the most competitive prices available for any type of product or service they need. Companies could potentially save hundreds or even thousands of dollars on every purchase." This service is available free of charge to companies listing requests for proposal.

Lehman adds, "There are two winners in this process: buyers and sellers. The buyers win because they have a quick and easy way to help ensure they receive competitive quotes on products and services they need to run their businesses, and the sellers win because they have the opportunity to gain new customers and develop additional sales channels simply by visiting RFPHere.com and providing quotes to motivated buyers."

In addition to RFPHere.com, BusinessHere.com offers companies the opportunity to buy and sell business-to-business products and services in an auction and fixed-price format. According to Skardon, "We believe that we have one of the most compelling offerings available on the Internet today. In addition to purchasing new and used products and services in auction and fixed-price formats, companies can also sell their products and services to other businesses around the globe."

With a goal of registering 10,000 sellers by year's end, BusinessHere.com is actively seeking buyers and sellers to join the bidding on RFPHere.com. Registration and listing products is free of charge and also entitles companies to buy and sell products and services on its auction and fixed-price sites.
