Bizz Buzz launches group buying site for Australian small businesses


Bizz Buzz launches group buying site for Australian small businesses

Bizz Buzz launched today as Australia’s only group buying site dedicated to small business deals.

While Australia has seen many Groupon copycats, and Groupon itself owns a separately-branded service in Australia, none of them aim straight for small business.

As an example, Bizz Buzz’s introductory coupon offers 60 days of access to Shoeboxed.com.au, a service that takes care of data entry and categorization for receipts, for free.

Entrepreneur Marcus Layton founded Bizz Buzz when he saw a gap in the market despite everyone jumping on the Groupon craze.

“Although the number of sites out there offering cheap cupcakes and nail polishing services has become a bit ridiculous, no-one has addressed the needs of business owners,” Layton said.

“Bizz Buzz is not my first venture. Having started my first business with less than $1000, it was necessary to learn how to be frugal when purchasing goods and services to grow the company. It was what I learnt through these experiences that has led me to launch Bizz Buzz.”
