How to Enhance Your Vendor Profile

The South Florida Anchor Alliance Regional Marketplace uses your vendor profile information for business matching to provide you with suggested matches for RFPs and other procurement opportunities. The more robust you make your business profile, the more likely you are to get “matched” to opportunities that are right for your business.

Updating your vendor profile is easy. You can take advantage of any or all of the enhancements below, making your profile more competitive:

  • Customize your header Image
  • Provide a detailed company description
  • Add your certifications
  • Develop a capabilities statement
  • Add core business documents (needed for most RFPs)
  • Add case studies (if available)
  • Add references or business contacts
  • Add customers (current or past)

If you are not a registered vendor with one of these anchor institutions, you can still register in the Regional Marketplace platform.
