The Business Profile
The Business Profile is a private, structured description of your company stored on your Tender Navigator account. It is never shown publicly and, today, feeds neither filters nor evaluations: Generate filter, which will turn it into a draft filter with keywords, countries, classification codes and a structured AI prompt, is marked Coming soon.

What it is
Business Profile in the dashboard sidebar (Account section) is a page where you describe your company once. It is private: nothing on it is public. The public counterpart is the Supplier Profile.
The first visit shows "Set up your Business Profile" with a create button; creating it also creates the Supplier Profile, so either page's create button works.
The sections
| Section | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Operating regions | Where you bid for and deliver work. |
| What you do | Your industries, services, products and search terms. |
| Target buyers | Who you sell to and the sectors you serve. |
| Procurement codes | The CPV, NAICS and UNSPSC codes for the work you want to see. See CPV, NAICS and UNSPSC codes. |
| Capacity & qualifications | Languages, certifications, contract sizes and track record. |
| Exclusions | Industries and topics you never want to see. |
| Evaluation notes | What makes a tender a good or bad fit for your company. |
A completeness card shows how much of the profile is filled in and which sections are still empty. The Overview page shows a smaller profile card until the profile is largely complete.
Saving
Changes are saved with Save Business Profile in the sticky bar at the bottom; Discard changes restores the last saved version. Leaving the page with unsaved changes asks for confirmation. Every validation message is derived from what is on screen, so an error disappears as soon as the value is corrected.
Generate filter
The page shows a Generate filter section marked Coming soon; its button is not available yet. When it is, it will turn a sufficiently complete profile into a draft filter with:
- keywords from your services, products and search terms;
- countries from your operating regions;
- the procurement codes you entered;
- a structured AI prompt assembled from what you do, your target buyers, your capacity and qualifications, your exclusions and your evaluation notes.
Until then, the profile neither creates nor pre-fills a filter: you write a filter's keywords, countries, codes and AI prompt in the filter editor, and your evaluation notes make a good starting point for the prompt. See Creating and editing a filter.
Does the profile change evaluations?
No. The AI evaluation reads a filter's prompt and the tender notice, never the Business Profile, and while Generate filter is not available the profile does not reach a filter either. Update a filter's prompt directly when your criteria change.
