"Small Business is Big Business"

 

(TAKE A MINUTE AND READ THIS LETTER, IF YOU AGREE ACT NOW)

Our concept is a simple one to reduce the expense of individual small businesses by combining their collective purchasing power:

 

EXAMPLE I: The automotive repair shops who participated in the state's smog check program were recently mandated to purchase new EVAP equipment If there had been an organized buying group in place that could have negotiated on behalf of say 500 to 1000 members the price of the equipment would have dropped substantially.

 

EXAMPLE II: The service station industry must install Phase II Vapor Recovery and ISD systems at their stations by April 1, 2009. This will cost approximately $42,000 per site. If station owners join together they could save thousands of dollars on both the cost of equipment and the labor to install it. The collective purchasing power would be tremendous.

 

These buying group concepts also work on everyday business expenses. Such as the examples listed below:
