Better Business Bureaus are private non-profit organizations supported largely by membership dues paid by business and professional groups in each Bureaus' service area.
How do Better Business Bureaus serve their communities?
Better Business Bureaus:
- Provide reports on business firms that will be helpful to you before making a purchase. The BBB system responds to millions of such inquiries each year;
- Provide information about charity groups and organizations;
- Help resolve consumers' disputes with businesses through telephone conciliation, mediation and arbitration; and
- Promote ethical business standards and voluntary self-regulation of business practices.
