What is the purpose of setting up a Company Profile on E1?
Creating a Company Profile on E1 helps you connect with the right builders and suppliers, find suitable projects, and showcase your business effectively. A complete profile, including About Us and Project History sections helps to set you apart from the competition. If you have your profile set to visible, you will be discoverable to builders looking for new subcontractors, and to suppliers matched by trade, on the projects that matter to you.
