The language of doing business on B2B.ID.

Advertise

The workspace for reaching more businesses on B2B.ID beyond organic matching. Advertise runs on credits rather than a flat subscription.

B2B ID

The structured business identity a business creates on B2B.ID: who it is, what it offers, who it serves, its proof of delivered work, its relationships and what it currently needs.

B2B.ID

The B2B platform for doing business. Businesses create a B2B ID on B2B.ID and use it to find clients, discover opportunities, get recommended, hire, sell, partner, refer and network.

Claim a B2B ID

The process by which the rightful owner of a business takes control of its B2B ID — including ones that started from public information — to verify it and manage it directly.

Concierge

A guided service on B2B.ID that helps a business complete a specific action, such as sourcing a shortlist or running a request, and is typically credit-based.

Contacts

The operating workspace holding the people and businesses you deal with, alongside the history of your relationship on B2B.ID.

Credits

The unit some B2B.ID actions, like Advertise and Concierge, run on instead of a flat subscription. Creating a B2B ID and using core actions doesn't require credits.

Delivered work

Completed projects or engagements linked to a B2B ID, used as proof of real capability rather than a written claim alone.

Distribute

The workspace for finding distribution partners and channels to get a product or service in front of more businesses.

Find

The discovery workspace on B2B.ID: search by the problem you need solved and see businesses whose B2B IDs fit, with saved searches and watchlists.

Fund

The workspace connecting businesses seeking capital with investors and funding sources on B2B.ID.

Hire

The workspace for finding people and businesses to do work for you, starting from your business problem and matching it to B2B IDs with relevant delivered work.

Industry entry point

A page tailored to a specific industry or persona that introduces B2B.ID using the terms and needs relevant to that field.

Matching

The process B2B.ID uses to compare what one business needs or offers against other B2B IDs, surfacing the businesses most likely to be a genuine fit.

Network

The workspace for finding and connecting with relevant businesses to grow your relationships over time.

Offering

A structured service, product or package published on a B2B ID, which powers discovery, recommendations, opportunities and requests.

Opportunity

A project, deal or brief matched to a B2B ID based on its offerings and stated needs, delivered through the Opportunities workspace instead of requiring active searching.

Partner

The workspace for building ongoing commercial relationships with complementary businesses. Partnership types include referral, white-label, integration, co-marketing, channel or reseller, affiliate, sponsorship and content collaboration.

Pipeline

The operating workspace where a business tracks engagements, referrals and deals from first contact through to outcome.

Proof

Evidence attached to a B2B ID that backs up its claims — delivered work, case studies, testimonials and relationships with other B2B IDs — shown per claim rather than as a generic badge.

Recommend Me

The workspace where a B2B ID becomes eligible to be recommended when another business asks who to work with for a given need.

Refer

The action of passing an opportunity you can't take to a business you trust. The referral is recorded on both B2B IDs, and any agreed compensation is tracked — nothing is imposed by the platform.

Relationships

The clients, partners and referral connections visible on a B2B ID that show how a business actually operates, not just what it says about itself.

Request Introduction

A structured request asking a business to introduce you to someone in its network, with the reason attached.

Request Meeting

A structured request to schedule a conversation with another B2B ID, with context about why attached.

Request Partnership

A structured request proposing a specific partnership type — such as referral, channel or co-marketing — to another business.

Request Quote

A structured request asking a business to price a specific piece of work described against its offerings.

Sell

The workspace for publishing offerings and managing the resulting requests, proposals, delivery and earnings, all attached to your B2B ID.

Shop

The public listing surface where businesses browse and buy products and services that other B2B IDs have listed.

Structured request

A formal ask sent from one B2B ID to another, carrying context and tracked on both sides. The four types are Request Meeting, Request Quote, Request Partnership and Request Introduction.

Verified business

A business whose B2B ID has been confirmed as real and under the control of its rightful owner, so other businesses can trust who they're dealing with.
