March 2010 saw the launch of the new KBS website, offering a fresh new look and significantly increased functionality for our purchaser and vendor clients alike.
The new website allows purchaser clients to search by sector, location, turnover and by specific keyword in order to find a business that matches their requirements. As well as increased search facilities, vendors looking to sell their business can download the unique KBS Corporate 6 step guide, which explains the whole sales process that KBS Corporate undertake when marketing a business.
KBS Corporate worked closely with digital marketing agency Cube3 based in Bolton to create the new site. Cube3 quickly realised the importance of creating a functional and effective website for both existing and new clients of KBS Corporate. Having been impressed with their knowledge and enthusiasm, further enhancements to the website have been planned for the near future.
