What does ExpertBids  do?
ExpertBids

   

ExpertBids.com makes it easier to find the right professional service provider to start or grow their business. 

 

At ExpertBids.com, anyone who needs a professional service provider (a "Client") can anonymously post their need, including the location and description of the services they need. Then pre-screened Lawyers, Accountants or Consultants ("Experts") can send the Client either a flat fee or hourly rate bid and a description of the services they would provide.  The Client can also view the Expert's profile, rating and past client reviews along with the bids. Based on the information, the Client can decide whether to work with any of the Experts, get more information from any Expert, or do nothing - there are no obligations.

 

The site is completely free for the Clients and we charge Experts a small fee to contact the Client.  

 

Why do you care?

 

Finding the right professional service provider for your business is a very important, but notoriously difficult task. That is where ExpertBids.com comes in.  Whether your business needs to be incorporated by a lawyer, taxes done by a CPA, or marketing done by a consultant - ExpertBids can save entrepreneurs and businesses time and money on any need they have. The bids you receive may range by thousands of dollars,  but price is only one factor in selecting the right Expert - so more importantly, we give you options and information on professional service providers and let you make the decisions. 

 

Special Offer:

 

For Experts (lawyers, accountants or consultants), after you register, email support@expertbids.com and we will provide you with 5 free credits, so you can contact your first potential client on us.  Please put 'CEC Credits' in the Subject line.  Feel free to pass this offer along to any professional service providers you know.
