Question 1

What is B2B.ID?

Accepted Answer

B2B.ID is the B2B platform for doing business. Every business creates a B2B ID — a structured identity — and uses it to find clients, discover opportunities, get recommended, hire, sell, partner, refer, network and more, all from one place.

Question 2

What is a B2B ID?

Accepted Answer

A B2B ID is your structured business identity on B2B.ID: who you are, what you offer, who you serve, proof of delivered work, your relationships and what you currently need. Every workspace on the platform reads from it.

Question 3

How is a B2B ID different from my website or LinkedIn profile?

Accepted Answer

Your website tells people about your business. Your LinkedIn profile is a personal or company page built for browsing. A B2B ID helps other businesses understand what you do, trust your experience through verifiable proof, and see exactly how they can work with you — it's built to be matched against and acted on, not just read.

Question 4

How is B2B.ID different from a business directory?

Accepted Answer

A directory lists a name and a category. A B2B ID is structured data — offerings, proof, needs and relationships — that powers matching, recommendations, opportunities and structured requests. It's a working identity, not a listing.

Question 5

How do I create a B2B ID?

Accepted Answer

Sign up, describe your business — industry, offerings and the people behind it — and say what you currently need, like clients, partners, hires or capital. Attach proof by inviting clients and partners to vouch, and your B2B ID goes live.

Question 6

What does it mean to claim a B2B ID?

Accepted Answer

If a business already has a B2B ID that someone else created or that was generated from public information, the actual owner can claim it to take control, verify the details and start using it.

Question 7

Can I create a B2B ID for a business I don't own?

Accepted Answer

Basic B2B IDs can exist from public information so a business can be found and matched. The rightful owner can claim it at any time to take control and add verified detail.

Question 8

What information on my B2B ID is public?

Accepted Answer

You control what's visible. Typically businesses show what they do, who they serve, public proof like case studies and testimonials, and how to reach them. You decide what stays private, including sensitive needs or terms.

Question 9

Is B2B.ID free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It's free to create a B2B ID and to use core actions like Find, Opportunities, Recommend Me, Hire, Sell, Partner, Refer and Network. Some actions, like Advertise, use credits rather than a subscription.

Question 10

How do credits work?

Accepted Answer

A small number of actions, such as Advertise, run on credits instead of being unlimited by default. There's no fixed subscription price and no universal commission — you use credits only for the actions that need them.

Question 11

How does matching work?

Accepted Answer

Matching starts from what a business needs or what it offers. B2B.ID compares that against other B2B IDs — their offerings, proof and relationships — and surfaces the businesses most likely to be a genuine fit, in Find, Opportunities and Recommend Me.

Question 12

What are opportunities?

Accepted Answer

Opportunities are projects, deals and briefs matched to your B2B ID based on your offerings and needs. Instead of searching cold, relevant opportunities are routed to you as they appear.

Question 13

What is a structured request?

Accepted Answer

A structured request is how one B2B ID formally asks to work with another. There are four types: Request Meeting, Request Quote, Request Partnership and Request Introduction. Each carries context and is tracked on both B2B IDs.

Question 14

Do requests disappear into an inbox?

Accepted Answer

No. Every request is tracked as a record on both sides, so you can follow its status instead of losing it in email.

Question 15

How do referrals work on B2B.ID?

Accepted Answer

Refer is one of the twelve actions on B2B.ID. When an opportunity isn't the right fit for you, you pass it to a business you trust, with context attached. The referral is recorded on both B2B IDs, and if any compensation was agreed, it's tracked — nothing is imposed by the platform.

Question 16

Does B2B.ID set a referral fee or commission?

Accepted Answer

No. Any compensation for a referral is agreed directly between the businesses involved. B2B.ID structures and tracks the referral; it doesn't set or take a cut of your terms.

Question 17

Can I build ongoing referral relationships?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that's what the Partner workspace is for. You can propose a referral partnership specifically, so referrals between two businesses become a standing, tracked relationship rather than a one-off.

Question 18

How does hiring work on B2B.ID?

Accepted Answer

Hiring starts with your business problem, not a job title. You describe what needs to get done, and B2B.ID matches it to businesses and professionals whose B2B IDs show relevant delivered work. You shortlist and send a structured request from there.

Question 19

How do partnerships work?

Accepted Answer

The Partner workspace helps you find complementary businesses and propose a specific partnership type — referral, white-label, integration, co-marketing, channel or reseller, affiliate, sponsorship, or content collaboration. The relationship and what it produces live on both B2B IDs.

Question 20

How does B2B.ID verify a business?

Accepted Answer

Verification confirms a business is real and controls its B2B ID. Beyond that, proof — delivered work, case studies and testimonials — is linked to specific claims, so you can see exactly what's been confirmed rather than taking a pitch at face value.

Question 21

What counts as proof on a B2B ID?

Accepted Answer

Delivered work, case studies, testimonials and relationships with other B2B IDs. Proof is tied to real activity on the platform, not just written claims.

Question 22

Does B2B.ID work for my industry?

Accepted Answer

B2B.ID is built for any industry doing business with other businesses — agencies, SaaS, professional services, ecommerce, manufacturing, finance and more. Industry entry points help you start from the terms and needs specific to your field.

Question 23

What happens to my data?

Accepted Answer

You control what's shown publicly on your B2B ID versus kept private. B2B.ID uses your information to power matching, recommendations and requests — it isn't sold to third parties.

Question 24

Can I remove my B2B ID?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can request removal of a B2B ID you control at any time; contact support to have it taken down.
