Startup of the Week - Bidvine
by Startacus Admin
BidVine, the online marketplace which makes “hiring local, trusted service professionals ridiculously simple”.
Whether you need a plumber to fit that new shower or need a caterer for a party or event, chances are you’ll either spend an age trawling through websites or you’ll ask a friend or family member for a recommendation. Of course when you finally decide on who to call, they might not be able to do exactly what you want or worse still, prove to be really unreliable and provide a shoddy service.
Our latest startup of the week, BidVine is on a mission to change all that.
Bidvine is an online marketplace which makes “hiring local, trusted service professionals ridiculously simple”.
Here’s how it works:
Simply select the service you are looking for and answer a few questions confirming a few more details on your exact requirement.
Your job request is then sent to trusted professionals in your local area who can provide that specific service.
Within a matter of hours you will start to receive bids from professionals for the job.
The number of bids you’ll receive will of course vary - everything from how niche the job is or how 
much detail you’ve provided in your job request can play a part in the quantity of bids you’ll ge
You can then compare bids, check out reviews and then make contact directly with the service pros. You can select your preferred professional and hire them to get the job done. Once it’s been completed, you can review their service on Bidvine, thereby helping other users.
There are heaps of professionals on the Bidvine platform - covering everything from trades such as plumbing and electrical work through to personal trainers and guitar tutors. Need to hire someone for anything like that and this is the place to do it.
Bidvine is not just a great platform for those wishing to hire - it’s also an excellent resource for professionals to promote their services, attract new customers and ultimately grow their businesses. A win win for all then!
