Ryan Young · Saracen Business Services
An extra pair of hands behind the job.
Practical support for small trade businesses that need help with procurement, without taking on an in-house buyer.
Hello, I'm Ryan
I organise the admin that takes you away from your work.
Based in St Albans, I work with trade businesses on the supplier side of their jobs: gathering quotations, coordinating authorised orders, arranging deliveries and progressing returns.
SBS is built around time and organisation. The aim is to free up your day for work on site, pricing the next job or time away from the business.
You keep your supplier relationships and commercial decisions. I provide the coordination and follow-up around them.
How I work
Straightforward.
Confidential.
On your side.
Your commercial information stays private.
Prices, supplier terms, rebates, margins, quotations and buying patterns are confidential. They are not shared with another client.
Supplier options are presented neutrally.
I help you compare the options. You decide which route is right for your business; the cheapest price is only one part of the picture.
Conflicts are handled openly.
If two SBS clients compete for the same end job or tender, I flag the conflict without disclosing confidential details and agree how to proceed before continuing that work.
Time is recorded fairly.
You pay for active support, not waiting time. If I clearly make a mistake, you are not charged SBS time spent correcting it.
