Everything you need to know about posting jobs, receiving bids, choosing providers, safety, reviews and more.
How does Bids For Business work?
It’s simple. Post your job once and we’ll notify verified local businesses that match your needs.
Up to three providers can submit sealed quotes (bids) for your work. You can review prices, read verified reviews, check availability,
and then choose your winning bidder — all in one place. Our bidding model is patent pending, ensuring a fair, transparent process for both customers and providers.
Is it free to post a job?
Yes. Posting a job on Bids For Business is completely free. You’ll only pay a provider directly when you hire them —
there are no platform fees for customers.
How many quotes will I receive?
Each job can receive a maximum of three quotes. This ensures you get competitive offers without being overwhelmed.
Providers know they’re competing for limited slots, so they usually submit their best price from the start.
How do I choose the best quote?
Once quotes are in, compare them side by side. You’ll see each provider’s price, reviews, star rating, and any notes about availability or experience.
Choose the quote that gives you the best value — not just the lowest price — and click “Accept Bid” to connect directly with your chosen provider.
What happens after I accept a bid?
You’ll receive the provider’s contact details and can finalise the job directly with them. It’s best to confirm details like start time, materials,
and payment method in writing before work begins. Bids For Business acts as a secure introduction platform —
all agreements and payments are made directly between you and the provider.
Are providers verified?
Yes. We verify key details for each provider, such as business name, email, contact information, and postcode coverage.
Many providers also upload proof of insurance, licences or trade memberships. Always review their profile and ask questions before hiring.
How do I leave a review?
After your job is completed, you’ll be invited to leave a verified review. Reviews help future customers make better choices
and help great businesses build trust and visibility on the platform.
Is my personal data safe?
Yes. We comply with UK and Irish data protection laws (UK GDPR & ROI GDPR). Your details are shared only with the businesses you engage with.
For more, see our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
Is Bids For Business available in Ireland too?
Absolutely. Bids For Business operates throughout the UK & Ireland. Our provider network covers Dublin, Cork, Galway, Belfast,
and beyond — so you can post jobs wherever you are.
Can I cancel a job post?
Yes. You can cancel your job anytime before accepting a bid. Once a provider is hired, cancellations or changes should be agreed directly with them
under your contract. You can always re-post later for new quotes.
