Small Business Membership

Small Business Membership is for companies and NGOs seeking access to contracts and grants from international development and relief agencies such as the World Bank, United Nations, EuropeAid, USAID, IADB, and DFID. You have a service or product that can assist international development, and we want to help you provide it.

This membership is for organizations that seek small to mid-size projects and are interested in subcontracting on international development projects to larger organizations. Small Business Members typically have limited recruitment needs, unlike larger consulting firms and NGOs. If this describes your organization, consider joining our Small Business Membership.

We can assist you in three important ways:

1. Connecting you to leading consulting companies and NGOs that require subcontractors
2. Marketing you to thousands of donor officials from over 115 foreign aid agencies
3. Helping you identify specific projects that you can pursue

There are many sources of procurement notices. Small Business Membership does provide the most comprehensive international development procurement notice service, with notices from over 115 foreign aid agencies. But it does much, much more:

• Get full access to our 25-person global research team (in almost any language) in order to get your specific questions about project opportunities answered
• Include your organization in our Directory of Members sent twice each year to thousands of donor agency officials and executives at leading consulting firms and NGOs
• We'll create a webpage for your organization on our website, which has more than 100,000 active users, in order to increase your profile and make sure funding agencies can find you
• Every time we show a procurement notice on our website that matches your organization's capabilities, your name will appear on the page with a link to your full profile
• When someone searches for partners or subcontractors in our directory of 13,000 companies & NGOs, your organization name will be highlighted so it stands out
• Our networking directory of 60,000 professionals around the world is at your fingertips in order to establish local contacts and find partners

Small Business Membership is priced to be affordable for small organizations or small departments in larger organizations. It is meant for those professionals who understand that reading a procurement notice alone is not a successful business development strategy. Marketing, networking, and targeting opportunities ideally suited to your organization is the key to successfully serving the international development marketplace, and Small Business Membership is designed precisely for that purpose.
