To offer to?

Hello,



I found out by checking the dictionary that the verb "to offer" requires the use of the "to" so:



"I offer to you our services" can you confirm this point?



I have always written : "we would be glad to offer you our services" is it such a big mistake to omit the "to"?



Thanks in advance

Thanks, I understand it better.

I was confused by this :

to ~ sb. sth., to ~ sth. to sb.

I have a similar doubt. Would the preposition [to] optional in the following structure?

"This is the lowest price our company offers [to] customers for this service"

thank you
