What does Global B2B Group help with?
It helps industrial buyers define a requirement, prepare a structured RFQ, identify and qualify independent suppliers, compare bids on a like-for-like basis, and map financing pathways with third-party institutions.
Is Global B2B Group a supplier, broker, marketplace or manufacturer?
It is a supplier-neutral procurement platform and intermediary. It does not manufacture, own, stock or resell equipment, is not an EPC contractor, and is not a bank or lender. Buyers contract directly with suppliers and financing institutions.
Which countries does Global B2B Group cover?
Requests are accepted worldwide. Buyer activity is concentrated in the Gulf, Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe, and suppliers are sourced internationally rather than from a single country.
What information is needed to request a quote?
At minimum: what is being produced or stored, target capacity or throughput, the country and site situation, an indicative budget range and a target timeline. Drawings, layouts and standards help but are not required to start.
How fast can a request be reviewed?
Requests are reviewed by a human team, normally within one to two business days. Supplier quotations take longer and depend on scope complexity and supplier workload; no fixed turnaround is promised.
Does Global B2B Group work with international buyers?
Yes. The platform is built for cross-border industrial procurement, including Incoterms, import duties, logistics and installation supervision. Content and buyer support are available in English and 20+ additional languages.
Can Global B2B Group help with urgent requests?
Urgent requests can be submitted and are prioritised in review, but delivery timing depends entirely on supplier capacity and production lead times. No availability or delivery date is promised before suppliers respond.
What types of suppliers are matched?
Independent equipment manufacturers, line integrators, packaging and processing OEMs, cold-chain and refrigeration specialists, and turnkey project contractors, screened on documented capability, capacity, certification and geographic fit.
What does it cost a buyer?
Free for buyers. Global B2B Group is compensated by the supplier side, only after a project proceeds.
What project size does the platform work with?
Commercial and industrial projects, typically from approximately USD 250,000 upward. Smaller catalogue purchases are usually better served by a distributor or the manufacturer directly.
Does Global B2B Group provide financing?
No. It does not lend, approve or guarantee financing. It maps which financing routes may fit a project — bank, export credit, development finance, leasing or vendor finance — and helps prepare the documentation third-party institutions ask for.
How is Global B2B Group related to ColdMatch, FishMatch, HatchMatch, FeedMatch and SeedMatch?
Global B2B Group is the parent ecosystem. ColdMatch (cold chain and refrigeration), FishMatch (aquaculture), HatchMatch (poultry infrastructure), FeedMatch (animal feed and ingredients) and SeedMatch (agriculture infrastructure) are its specialized industrial vertical platforms. Each specialist platform operates independently and may run its own supplier-paid commercial terms; suppliers never pay for inclusion, ranking or recommendation. SkyMatch Group is a separate helicopter sourcing affiliate, clearly labelled as outside the industrial B2B procurement ecosystem. The parent platform handles cross-sector requests and routes sector-specific requirements to the right specialist platform.
Is SkyMatch part of the Global B2B Group industrial ecosystem?
No. SkyMatch Group is a separate helicopter sourcing and flight-coordination affiliate. It is not an industrial procurement division of Global B2B Group and is never counted among the five industrial specialist platforms.
What is the minimum project size for Global B2B Group?
Global B2B Group works on commercial and industrial projects from USD $250,000 upward. Smaller catalogue purchases are better served directly by a distributor or manufacturer.
What is Global B2B Group, in one sentence?
Global B2B Group is an independent B2B procurement and project-development ecosystem for commercial industrial projects from USD $250,000 upward, connecting qualified buyers with third-party suppliers, EPC partners and independent financing providers across specialized vertical platforms.
Is Global B2B Group a bank, investment advisor or insurer?
No. Global B2B Group is not a manufacturer, supplier, EPC contractor, engineering contractor, lender, bank, credit provider, investment advisor, insurer or financial advisor. It prepares procurement documentation, compares qualified third-party suppliers and makes introductions to independent financing providers.
Does supplier payment influence shortlists or ranking?
Supplier-neutral: suppliers cannot pay for inclusion, ranking, placement or recommendation. Global B2B Group is compensated by the supplier side only after a project the buyer selected proceeds, and that fee does not influence who is invited or how bids are scored.
Who pays Global B2B Group?
Buyers pay nothing for scoping, RFQ preparation, supplier qualification, bid comparison or financing coordination. Global B2B Group is compensated by the supplier side: a fee payable by the selected supplier, and only after a project proceeds. Suppliers do not pay for inclusion in a shortlist, and no payment is made or owed while an RFQ is being evaluated. This arrangement is disclosed to buyers, is not a per-unit commission inside the buyer's price, and does not determine which suppliers are invited or how bids are scored. The buyer retains sole authority over shortlisting, negotiation and award.
Is Global B2B Group a financing platform?
Global B2B Group is not a bank, lender or financing institution. It may help eligible project sponsors prepare information and identify or approach independent financing providers. All financing products, due diligence, credit decisions, terms and disbursements are controlled by the relevant licensed institution. No approval or funding is guaranteed. Its role is financing readiness and introductions: bankable documentation support, lender coordination and financing options through independent third-party providers. Approval and terms are determined solely by the financing provider, and no financing outcome is guaranteed.
Does Global B2B Group guarantee supplier quality, delivery or financing approval?
No. Equipment, engineering, delivery, installation, commissioning, warranties and financing approval are the responsibility of independent third parties. Global B2B Group prepares, qualifies, structures and coordinates; it does not certify, underwrite or guarantee outcomes.
