NEW YORK, NY, Sep 01 (MARKET WIRE) --
LimeExchange today announced that it has registered more than 50,000
users since launching globally on July 30, 2008. One of the fastest
growing service marketplaces, LimeExchange has doubled its user base
since April 2009.
All of the core services on LimeExchange are free of charge to both buyers
and providers, giving users a chance to participate in the exchange
without the need for an upfront investment. Instead, payments are
entirely success based: only after a provider has completed a project or
milestone and collected payment is a small commission (5% to 8%,
inclusive of payment processing fee) deducted from their net proceeds. To
date, over $2 million worth of projects have been posted on LimeExchange.
The LimeExchange service provider community features freelance
professionals & small businesses in over 160 countries, specializing in
areas such as graphic design, web development, software programming, and
writing and translation services. Businesses and individuals who are
looking for resources on demand and an extended outsourced workforce can
register and post a project free of charge, and receive proposals from
talented professionals and small businesses that meet their criteria.
Buyers can then choose the best proposal, negotiate terms of service,
track and manage milestones and flexible payment schedules via a secure
escrow account -- all within the LimeExchange interface.
"LimeExchange is the most cost effective way to get projects done quickly
and securely over the Internet," said John Enright, VP of Marketing &
Business Development for LimeExchange. "Giving buyers and providers the
ability to register and connect for free, combined with our low-cost
success-based transaction model, has fueled both the growth of our user
base and the high volume of project activity on the exchange."
