Company Reliability
Reports - Consumers want businesses they can TRUST. That’s why almost one million consumers each year call
the BBB and/or visit our web site BEFORE making their buying decisions. Four
out of five consumers say they would be more likely to buy from or hire a BBB
Accredited Business. In a competitive
marketplace, BBB Accredited Businesses stand out because they are honest,
reliable and responsive to consumers.
Since consumers often compare multiple companies, being accredited by
the BBB gives you an edge.
Web Site Information
- As a BBB Accredited Business, you will have a full-page report for consumers
to view that confirms your excellent reputation and commitment to marketplace
ethics at www.bbb.org. You can also link your website to your BBB Report so that your customers can see your BBB rating. We can also provide a link on your report to your website to drive traffic to your virtual "storefront."
Referral Lists -
Every day, consumers ask the BBB to refer them to reliable and trustworthy area
businesses. By visiting www.bbb.org, consumers can select from a list of
business categories and view the names of BBB Accredited Businesses. This feature allows the BBB to refer you to
consumers who need your products/services and who are ready to spend money.
What is it worth for you to be on the BBB referral list? What might it cost you
not to be on it?
Promoting Your Accreditation
- As a BBB Accredited Business, the BBB ADvantage PLUS
Program allows you to use the BBB name and logo on your website, and in your advertising and
marketing materials including business cards, yellow page and directory
advertising, flyers, letterhead, proposals, invoices and receipts, etc.
Certificate and Decals

Business Certificate to proudly display at your office or carry in your

Mediation and
Arbitration – These cost-saving services are available to all BBB
Accredited Businesses.
Professionally-trained mediators and arbitrators will assist in
resolving any consumer disputes that may arise between you and your customers
that you cannot resolve yourself. BBB
mediation and arbitration are fast, fair and inexpensive ways to settle
disputes without going to court. Upon request, the BBB offers a pre-arbitration
clause that you can insert into your sales agreements and contracts as an added
measure of protection to keep disputes out of court and save you money.

yours! The BBB collects thousands of
