About JQW plc
JQW is a leading domestic business-to-business e-commerce
provider based in the Chinese province of Jiangsu. The Group's core
business is its online B2B platform, www.jqw.com, which has been
developed to encourage domestic trade by connecting Chinese SMEs
with potential trade partners. Founded in 2004, the platform was
developed to help to market Chinese SME's websites. JQW has evolved
rapidly to become the second highest ranked B2B e-commerce website
and operates, what the director's believe to be, the first
dedicated B2B search engine, www.jqw.cn.
JQW offers a low-cost entry point for Chinese SMEs to promote
themselves and their B2B products to potential buyers. In order to
increase transaction opportunities, JQW offers its clients a broad
range of services including website design, commercial search
services and advertising.
There are approximately 49 million SMEs in China manufacturing a
diverse range of products, accounting for 60% of the country's GDP.
The internet usage population of China at June 2013 was 591 million
and there is a considerable amount being invested into the
country's telecommunications infrastructure. These factors have
driven an increased demand for domestic trade of B2B, B2C and C2C
e-commerce. With the majority of these SMEs requiring the use of
third party B2B e-commerce platforms to promote their businesses
and access trade partners, the Board believes that JQW offers a
robust and highly reputable branded platform. With exposure in over
50 industry sectors and considerable scope for future growth, JQW
is in a strong position to capitalise on the development of this
market.
