Servicestart Takes Off in the UK

Successful European venture, Servicestart (http://www.servicestart.co.uk), is launching in the UK to take the work out of finding service providers - whether builders, babysitters, accountants or gardeners. The site uses simple tick box questionnaires so consumers simply answer the questions that apply to their job to identify the best provider.

Aimed at private individuals and businesses that are seeking a service provider, the site offers over 500 different categories including renovations and remodelling, architects, buying and selling property, painting and decorating, recruitment and motoring.

Emma Friman, UK MD, comments: “Following a successful launch in Sweden in 2007, we are now bringing our venture to the UK. We want to give buyers the opportunity to compare price and quality in a transparent way online – with no obligation.”

She continues: “Instead of browsing through local Yellow Pages and other directories, the user posts a project description on Servicestart.co.uk and suitable listed companies or individuals soon respond with quotes for the job.”

The site makes it easy for listed companies to find niche clients. Friman adds: “Traditional methods such as print advertising and directory listings can be expensive and mail drops often produce insufficient results. Servicestart.co.uk provides an affordable and easy way for listed companies to grow their business.”
