Big companies have sales teams. You have FirmsLedger.
A free directory built for small US manufacturers, so the buyers who need what you make can find you and ask you for a quote.

Why we built FirmsLedger
Many small manufacturers know this problem well. The work is great. Your regular customers love you. But new buyers have never heard of you.
The big names fill the first page of Google and the paid directories. A 12-person company in Ohio gets lost.
We built FirmsLedger so that doesn’t happen. Here’s how it works.
Step 1: A free page for your company
Every manufacturer gets its own page: what you make, where you are and how to reach you.
Quick win: Listing is free. No contract, no card.
Show me how
Your page can show your products, what your machines can do, your certifications, the industries you serve, your logo and photos. It is built to read well on a phone, because many buyers search from one.
Step 2: Found by industry and by state
Buyers browse by what they need and where they need it, like metal fabrication in Texas.
Quick win: You show up on your industry’s page for your state.
Show me how
Every industry has a page for each state, and every state has a page across all industries. Local buyers find local suppliers, which means less freight and faster delivery for them, and more nearby work for you.
Step 3: Quote requests come straight to you
Buyers can send a quote request from your page. It goes to your email, not to a middleman.
Quick win: Make sure your email on the page is one you check daily.
Show me how
There is no bidding fee and we do not take a cut. The buyer writes to you, you reply, and the deal is between the two of you.
Step 4: You stay in control
Claim your page to edit it any time: add your logo, photos, products and a better description.
Quick win: Claim your page in a few minutes.
Show me how
Once your claim is approved, you get a simple dashboard. Change anything, press Save, and your page updates. If something looks wrong, reply to any of our emails and we will fix it for you.
Step 5: See what buyers are looking for
Buyers post requests for quotes (RFQs) describing parts they need made.
Quick win: Check the RFQ board from your dashboard.
Show me how
Every company that manages its page can see what buyers need. Premium members see the full details and can send a quote. Each RFQ takes up to 8 quotes, so replying early counts.
Step 6: A featured spot when you want more
Premium adds a gold Featured badge and moves you to the top of your industry pages.
Quick win: Companies that list now get Premium free for 6 months.
Show me how
Premium is optional and costs $25 a month after the free period. You can stay on the free plan for as long as you like; your page and quote requests stay free.
Step 7: Real people check every listing
We review each new company by hand and only list manufacturers based in the US.
Quick win: Questions? Just reply to any email from us.
Show me how
That keeps the directory useful for buyers: US manufacturers only, no overseas resellers. It also means a real person reads your request and helps if something is missing.
Is it really free?
Yes. Your page, being found by industry and state, and quote requests from buyers are all free. Premium is optional at $25 a month, and companies that list now get 6 months free.
Who can be listed?
Companies that make products in the United States. We don’t list distributors, resellers or companies outside the US.
How long does it take?
About five minutes to send your details. We check them and email you when your page is live.
