New service launched giving SME's big buying power

 print  e-mail 

This month, a free dedicated SME member association has been launched that provides small to medium sized businesses with easy access to the UK’s leading business suppliers at prices normally only made available to large corporations. LogBuy enables small businesses to benefit from their combined purchasing power and provides its members with easy access to negotiated prices on all common business supplies.

As an example, members of the association can benefit from up to 70% discount on selected stationery and 38% on office furniture with Whitegrove, access over 750,000 discounted airfares and 49,000 discounted hotel rates with BTI, save up to 57% on UK calls against BT’s Business Plan with One.Tel, receive a free fuel card with Shell and more.

LogBuy will be continually adding to the agreements over the course of the year, as well as assessing the supplier agreements it has negotiated, to ensure LogBuy members always get the best deal.

LogBuy originated in Denmark in 2002 and has since become the largest SME member purchasing association. The success of LogBuy in Denmark has been due to the collaborative nature of the association, negotiating the best prices on key business suppliers, as well as offering other key member benefits such as a regular member magazine and networking events.
