    Could use your help launching a marketplace for business services...

    We are in private beta. TBH, despite having 1000+ emails, it's been a real challenge getting people to post a quality listing. This is why I'm here :-) Payments: We essentially escrow the payments, retaining a 10% fee from the seller. Recurring payments can be made with "milestone payments."...

    Books on business names and branding?
