Amazon has announced the launch of Amazon Business, a new service to meet the procurement needs of businesses of every size – from SMEs to large multi-national organisations, as well as institutional buyers like universities, hospitals and non-profits.

Amazon Business customers benefit from a range of business-tailored features such as Free One-Day Delivery on orders of £30 or more, VAT-exclusive pricing, VAT invoicing and Amazon Business Analytics to gain visibility into how their business is spending.

Amazon Business offers more than one hundred million products in a wide range of categories, from laptops, office supplies and storage solutions, through to office furniture and commercial grade printers; and janitorial supplies and cleaning products through to industrial grade high pressure washers.

“Whether you are a sole trader, a buyer in a mid-size company or a Chief Procurement Officer in a large multi-national organisation, Amazon Business has the products and capabilities to serve your needs,” said Bill Burkland, Head of Amazon Business UK.

Amazon Business launched in the US in April 2015, serving more than 400,000 businesses and generating more than $1billion in sales in its first year. Since its US launch, Amazon Business has shipped to business customers in more than 60 countries through its US and German websites.

Business customers can register for a free Amazon Business account via www.amazon.co.uk/business. Sellers that wish to add products to Amazon’s growing Amazon Business selection can learn more at www.amazon.co.uk/business-seller.
