Industry runs on
the part you can't find.

GoFindPart is a UK marketplace for industrial spares — the bearings, brackets, boards and bits that hold factories together. We replace a decade of phoning round, chasing quotes, and hoping someone somewhere has stock, with one request and competing offers.

§ Thesis · 01

The part is out there. Always.

Someone, somewhere, has the stock. Our job is to make someone & somewhere show up — fast, with a real price, and delivery you can commit to.

The log file.
Short version.

The full origin story is still being written down. For now, here's where the marker sits on the timeline.

Origin · Coming soon

The full log is on the way.

We're documenting the milestones that shaped GoFindPart — founding, first request, first thousand suppliers. In the meantime, the best read on where we're heading is the how-it-works page.

Four principles,
on the workshop wall.

We printed these, laminated them, and pinned them above the coffee machine. When a decision is hard, we walk to the coffee machine and reread them. So far they've held.

§ 01 · Truth

Quote the real price.

The price you see is the price you pay. Platform fee, delivery, VAT — itemised upfront, no mystery line items on the invoice. If we can't show the full cost, we don't show any of it.

Rule · No dark patterns · No hidden fees
§ 02 · Speed

Minutes, not days.

When a line is down, buyers lose thousands per hour. We measure ourselves against the stop-loss clock. First offers land in the buyer's inbox in as little as ten minutes.

Target · First offer ≤ 10 min
§ 03 · Ground

Verify with boots on.

Every supplier is vetted before they quote. No LinkedIn-only vendors. No drop-shippers. Identity, phone and company checks on every seller account before the first request routes their way.

Verified · All sellers · Reviewed on an ongoing basis
§ 04 · Fair

Sellers keep what sellers quote.

Sellers pay £0 — not to list, not to subscribe, not to payout. The buyer's flat 9.5% is our only revenue. We don't mark up sellers' quotes or take a cut. What they ask for is what they get.

Policy · Seller fee = £0

The crew on the floor.

A UK-based team split between HQ and a loose federation of home offices. Half have worked on a factory floor; the other half wish they had. We all pick up the phones.
