How it works

1business.co.uk is a platform that gives businesses access to verified suppliers worldwide. Instead of paying for individual suppliers, users purchase supplier packages that can be used flexibly.

Account Registration & Purchases

• There is no need to manually register an account—your account is created automatically after your first purchase. Account credentials are entered in the checkout form.
• To make a purchase, a valid payment method is required.
• Every purchase adds credits to your account, which can be used to unlock suppliers.

Supplier Packages & Pricing

• The platform does not have just three fixed packages. Instead, users can adjust the number of suppliers within each package using a dynamic pricing model.
• The more suppliers you purchase in one transaction, the lower the cost per supplier.
• The minimum purchase starts at 50 suppliers, but larger packages offer better pricing. For example, 500+ suppliers will have a 5% discount and 1000+ suppliers will have a 15% discount.
• Additional suppliers can be purchased later with progressive discounts applied within the account.

Using Supplier Credits

Once you have supplier credits in your account, you can use them to buy and explore suppliers based on your business needs.

For example:

• You have 1,324 supplier credits in your account.
• You want to find 320 suppliers in Europe selling electronics → You buy them, and your balance is reduced to 1,004 suppliers.
• Later, you decide to explore Chinese suppliers selling threads → The system shows 2,000 suppliers available.
• You choose to buy 1,004 suppliers, spending your remaining balance. The rest can be purchased later.

This flexible system allows businesses to build customized supplier collections based on regions, industries, and product categories while optimizing costs.
