Did we mention it's free? Seebiz was created by a team of small business owners who have been in the trade business for a combined 40+ years. During that time, they experienced numerous recurring obstacles and difficulties while trying to grow their businesses. They spent years trying to find a better solution to these problems, but nothing seemed to work. Then, with the astounding growth of the internet, it became possible to convert the traditional, analog method of running a business to the digital world. Thus, Seebiz was born. Here, the troubles of attending expensive trade shows, paying for time-consuming email campaigns, gathering market data for advertising and the overall task of networking become a walk in the park. Never again have to worry about diverting too much focus away from the things that matter most. Finally, there is a faster, cheaper way to grow your business.The idea for Seebiz spans back decades, to the time when the developer Nadeem Ballaj, had just immigrated to the U.S. from Pakistan and was working as a vendor of wallets and fine rugs. As he traversed through the world of trade business--constantly improving by taking advantage of product opportunities from a variety of different industries--he acquired a vast amount of knowledge on the mechanics of the trade industry as a whole. He also began to notice just how strenuous, expensive and time consuming some of the aspects of running a trade business can be. He grew tired of constantly having to attend expensive trade shows to showcase his products and longed for a better way to network with the retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers and distributors he needed to keep his business growing. Along with the costs of trade shows, he wished to conduct tedious email marketing campaigns and advertising research, keep track of stock and a multitude of other things. As the years went on and he found himself and his company navigating their way up the ranks of entrepreneurship, he began to notice just how much of the work involved in running a business could be made easier, or even eliminated, by transitioning parts of it into the digital world. With this realization came the initial motivation to build Seebiz, the world’s first trade business network.
