A brand new marketplace aims to help busy Scottish SMEs find new customers and the best suppliers for their needs.

Inquirex.com tackles two of the biggest challenges facing SMEs today - reducing the time, cost and hassle of finding new suppliers and generating high quality, cost effective sales leads.

The website is launched by Eric McCabe and Iain Allan, the Scottish web entrepreneurs behind tariffcom.com- a mobile and fixed line tariff comparison site, and is based in Dunfermline in Fife.

Inquirex.com brings together all kinds of buyers and sellers, from individuals to corporations, and especially SMEs, in a highly targeted way.

Buyers use Inquirex free to communicate their requirements to virtually every relevant supplier for any product or service - everything from promotional gifts to contract cleaning.

When they place a request, buyers retain their anonymity and they control the whole process by specifying exactly what they want and how many responses they want from suppliers – saving time, money and hassle and finding the best supplier to meet their needs.

Whether a buyer wants the lowest cost options, suppliers located closest or those that can meet a tight deadline, they can use Inquirex to find them. Inquirex is good news for sellers too. It is free to be listed under the categories and geographic areas they serve and free to receive highly targeted sales leads.

The only charge is when they choose to respond to a lead and this is a maximum of 83p per response. The site offers a very cost effective marketing opportunity for SMEs and enables them to compete on an equal footing with much bigger suppliers.

Inquirex is extremely simple to use, no risk, free marketplace where buyers and sellers can find each other, and offers all SMEs an easy step in to the world of online business.
