B2 Business Vantage Example Proposal
Companies Investigated
I attach advertisements for two companies: Windspeed and A-Z. Windspeed belongs to the Freight Transport Association and AZ to the Road Haulage Association.Services Available
A-Z provides a service which is essential to us, that is, the handling of hi-tech equipment.We shall need to hire crates for storage of equipment which our branch does not need immediately. I have checked, and A-Z also provide crates.
Windspeed also does international removals, but that is not of any interest to us.
Both companies provide a packing service, but they are quite expensive, and I suggest that we do the packing ourselves.
Estimates
Both companies will provide written estimates at no charge.Recommendations
I recommend A-Z because they handle hi-tech equipment. However, we should ask both companies for an estimate so that we can make a comparison of prices and service offered.Practice Writing a Business Proposal
