Whatt is the diference between "provider" and "Supplier"?

Question

when i want to furnish equipament

Answer 1

The provider will provide you things. The supplier willl suply you things.

Answer 2

Provider is one who renders a service, usually professional  (as I've seen it applied)

Supplier means vendor of goods, commodities

A vendor is a supplier.

Sounds to me like you are a vendor or supplier, provided you do not also install or build.  The latter would make you a contractor or service contractor, as for installation and maintenance.

Maybe you are a building contractor.

Vendors usually need no bond, but contractors do.

Google 'bonded contractor definition'

Answer 3

In fact ,provider is the same to supplier ,if you want to find a "supplier " or a "provider",it doesn't mean they  can produce the productions themselves,if you want to get a best prices ,you should find a manufacture.

I am an exporting staffer in China ,I can offer you anything you want to import from China ,I can contact the manufacture and ask them to give you a best price .

If you contact  me and tell me what you want ,i will send you the photos and price to you as soon as I can ,if you come to China to visit factories ,I can bring you to visit them ,but I should charge some fees.
