Amazon Launches Business Marketplace

Amazon Inc. announced the launch of a new marketplace Tuesday, called Amazon Business, which allows customers to buy business-related products online. Amazon said some of the products, which range from traffic signs to industrial deep fryers, are only available in the marketplace, where the customers can buy them at a discount. Business customers will also be able to make tax-exempt purchases and make purchases using an Amazon corporate credit line. Some of the products will have free two-day shipping.
