Many online B2B matching service platforms only provide matching between buyers and sellers. After the match, communication between the buyer and seller becomes their responsibility, and they often choose a common language like English for their negotiations. This can create obstacles for users who do not speak English, right?

Understanding this issue, GMAJOR is one of the first websites to implement a multilingual chat feature for users. Regardless of where you come from, everything your partners communicate with you will be translated into your native language. Additionally, GMAJOR offers features like bulk proposals and RFQ (Request for Quotation), making the platform even more versatile and user-friendly for global business transactions.

Closing deals on the GMAJOR B2B matching platform is faster compared to other B2B platforms due to several key advantages.

Firstly, GMAJOR's advanced online system streamlines the project formulation and matching process, significantly reducing the time required for these initial stages.

Additionally, GMAJOR offers a multilingual chat feature, eliminating language barriers and facilitating smoother communication between international parties. This not only accelerates negotiations but also minimizes misunderstandings.

Furthermore, GMAJOR provides a comprehensive corporate due diligence service specifically designed for small-scale B2B transactions, which can be completed in approximately 1 to 2 months.

Combined, these features enable users to expedite the entire B2B process, allowing deals to be closed in as little as three months, with some transactions concluding in as quickly as one week.

In M&A and business succession, confidentiality is of the utmost importance since sensitive information such as financial statements are exchanged. It is strictly prohibited to impersonate someone's identity and maliciously leak confidential information about the other party. This is why we need to verify your identity.

Additionally, in the context of B2B matching, verifying identities helps us maintain a trustworthy and secure environment. It prevents fraudulent activities and ensures that all participants are legitimate businesses and individuals.
