One such woman is Nicky Bentley, the “womanpreneur” who is the CEO and founder of the UK’s first ever Vendor List Company called Crown Connective.

So, What’s a Vendor List Company?

Vendor List Companies are fairly new to the world of business, but they have proved to be very profitable for both themselves and their clients and they are here to change the game.

A Vendor List Company is also known as a Business Development Company. This type of company connects entrepreneurs with suppliers and wholesale vendors around the world for the purpose of them being able to purchase items they can retail to their respective customers and clients through their online stores.

Vendor List Companies save other businesses time and possibly money when they are seeking suppliers to fuel their business for growth. These companies are all in resource aids because many of them also help with business strategy, branding, marketing and so much more.  

Introducing Crown Connective

If you are looking to start a business or to upgrade your business inventory, then Crown Connective is the space for you. Founded in November 2020, Crown Connective is a B2B business that connects entrepreneurs and those just starting out directly with wholesale suppliers.

At present, Crown Connective caters to a wide range of sectors namely: womenswear, children’s clothing, menswear, adult toys, skincare, cosmetics, holistic health, spiritual products, jewelry, human hair and other hair products, activewear, handbags, lingerie and sleep wear.

This company has taken the time out to research and understand the wholesale market sector, which allows them to provide educational business resources in addition to their carefully curated lists, to help businesses get started and gain more knowledge while they’re at it.

Crown Connective has built its pillars on the quality of its suppliers and vendors, which means that accountability is high on their list for serving their customers.
