WHAT IS IT?

  • Its a Group-Purchasing Network.

  • Members receive funds in the amount of $18,000 to $120,000 per year distributed in $1,500 to $10,000 increments per month (members must expend all funds every month).

  • Funds are distributed electronically on the members PC Purchasing Card issued by the local contracted and partnering banking card.

  • Groups of 50 to 500 Small businesses & Nonprofits are purchasing their operational needs using the same set of companies.

  • These companies are contracted for three to five years to accept the purchasing card (companies bid on the network contracts for the specific products and services our network-members will need for the year).

  • The contracted in-network Companies pay $80,000 per One Million Dollars that the Groups spend with their companies-guaranteed.

  • The contracted companies are paying $24 Million dollars for a Guranteed Return of One Hundred million dollars (plus) of guaranteed sales from the members and those the members influence (300 plus companies who want your guaranteed-business pay twenty-four million dollars into the networtk for the return of One Hundred to Five Hundred Million dollars they receive from the members, families, and communities the members influence.

  • The funds members receive are automatically loaded onto the purchasing card each month. Members are required to spend all funds each month (on their operations, payroll, equipment, bills, debt, travel, expansion etc.).

*** The purchasing card works "just-like" the air-line points system and the rebates system.  The B2B groups are able to command 7% instead of the usual 1% or 2% cash-back because we guarantee our purchases of specific products for three to five years. Our members receive cash instead of points and All members share in the revolving twenty-four million dollars that is revolved through the network. Because the members are the share-holders all contracted funds are dispersed to all members based on their budgets. The network does not pay CEO's and Share-holders!
