Provider Case Study

Service Provider:	Virus Woman
	Establishing a Viable Service Business

"I wouldn't have been able to do this without OnForce. Mom-and-pop shops are struggling to get customers in the door. OnForce is the window that we needed to grow our business."

— Crisantos Hajibrahim

Challenge

To establish a consulting business and grow it into a successful operation, Hajibrahim wanted to determine the average consulting rates for computer technicians so that he could be competitive and price his services efficiently.

Solution

To review rates of other providers, he signed up on the OnForce network as a provider and, on a whim, accepted his first work order. Orders arrived so steadily he left school and established his own super-heroic IT business, called Virus Woman.

Result

OnForce serves as both the company's payment system and its marketing engine, with payments received promptly, rather than the 30 days that his competitors are forced to accept, and thereby improving cash flow.

Business has grown rapidly, built simply on the trust that buyers had in the OnForce platform. Hajibrahim's company has grown to nine professionals, including an accounting staff, and he has gained an investment partner. His business now carries out projects for large resellers and global companies because of his participation in the OnForce marketplace. Recently, Virus Woman received a very large purchase order to provide virus-protection software for the U.S. Supreme Court.
