B2B.Africa for distributors and buyers

B2B.Africa is a neutral trade platform built on public tender data and company sources. For distributors and buyers, it is where you post what you need and get matched to qualified international suppliers.

How does it work for you?

1. Post a request. Describe the product, quantity and destination; this is a sourcing request, also called an RFQ.
2. Get matched. The platform matches your request to supplier companies that fit it.
3. Your contact stays masked. Suppliers see the substance of your request first, without your contact details.
4. Chat when ready. Suppliers that choose to respond spend one lead credit to unlock your request, which releases your contact details to them, and then reply in the platform chat; you decide whom to talk to. Replies are not promised: each supplier decides whether to respond.

Where to start?

• Post a sourcing request and describe what you need.
• Browse companies already on the platform.
• Read how to check a South African company: the public checks a supplier runs on a South African buyer before shipping, so you know what a supplier will ask you for.
