Plan, Structure and Finance Industrial Investment Projects
Procurement is one stage of an industrial investment. This centre covers the complete journey — capital planning, business case, feasibility, engineering preparation, financing structures, supplier strategy, execution, commissioning and long-term asset planning.
Before you compare suppliers, make sure the request can survive your own capital committee. The CAPEX approval process briefings explain how an industrial capital request is built and defended: how to write the capital equipment justification, which payback, IRR and total-cost-of-ownership tests committees apply, what belongs in the pre-submission capital request checklist, and what each approver — CEO, CFO, board and engineering director — actually reads in the role-specific briefings.
Three companion guides go deeper on the mechanics: the capital expenditure approval workflow sets out the gates, authority thresholds and sign-offs; the CAPEX business case template gives the nine sections and the numbers each must carry; and the CAPEX vs OPEX decision guide covers when owning an asset beats leasing or an as-a-service contract.

The industrial project journey
Every stage produces the inputs the next stage depends on. Weak work early is paid for later in change orders, financing delays and commissioning problems.

About Global B2B Group
B2B project sourcing, RFQ support and supplier matching
Global B2B Group is the parent platform of a group of specialist industrial sourcing platforms. It exists to take a serious project from an idea to a comparable set of supplier quotations — and to send each buyer to the platform built for their sector.
What does Global B2B Group do?
Global B2B Group is a buyer-side B2B project sourcing platform. It helps project owners structure a requirement, issue a professional RFQ, and compare relevant suppliers and service providers for serious industrial and agricultural projects — then routes the buyer to the specialist platform that matches the project type.
Is Global B2B Group an automatic marketplace?
No. We are a managed RFQ and sourcing concierge group, not an automatic marketplace. The flow is manual: the buyer submits a project request, David / Global B2B Group reviews it and prepares the project brief, the team identifies which platform fits (HatchMatch, FishMatch, ColdMatch, SeedMatch, FeedMatch or SkyMatch), and only once the project is clear are relevant suppliers or operators researched and approached. Every introduction is handled manually, based on fit.
What are the supplier directories for?
Directories are used for discovery, SEO, and AI visibility. Companies can register, update details and add information for free research — but a directory listing is not an automatic marketplace. Buyer handling, project preparation, and supplier/operator introductions are managed manually by David / Global B2B Group.
Who is it for?
Project owners, farm and facility owners, procurement and engineering teams, EPC contractors, developers, operators and investors running capital projects. It is not built for retail shopping, hobby purchases, single spare parts or low-budget one-off orders.
Which industries are covered?
Poultry, aquaculture, cold chain and refrigeration, agriculture and greenhouses, animal feed, food processing, industrial machinery and complete production lines, plus cross-sector turnkey industrial projects.
How does the RFQ process work?
Project first, suppliers second: you define the project scope and capacity, the requirement is structured into a comparable RFQ, relevant manufacturers and service providers are researched and approached, quotations are compared on a like-for-like basis, and a person from the team stays with the buyer through clarification and shortlisting.
What is the minimum project size?
The platform is designed for projects from roughly USD 250,000 upwards. Smaller requests are still answered, but priority handling and full supplier research apply above that threshold.
Is the buyer charged?
No. Buyers are not charged to submit an RFQ, receive supplier research or compare quotations. The commercial model is supplier-side: suppliers may pay only after a buyer-selected project proceeds — never for inclusion, ranking or recommendation.
