Better Business Bureau

People today are overwhelmed with choices – and often unsure about where to find verified, unbiased information. There are more than 30 million businesses in North America alone; and hundreds of thousands of sites around the world where people shop online. There are thousands of free and subscription websites that offer a range of information, including reviews, reports, directories, listings, and gripe sites. BBB is the one place you can find it all.

• BBB sets standards for ethical business behavior and monitors compliance. Almost 400,000 Accredited Businesses meet and commit to our high standards.
• BBB helps consumers identify trustworthy businesses, and those that aren’t, through more than 4 million BBB Business Profiles.
• BBB sets standards for and evaluates thousands of advertisements each year to ensure that people can trust what advertisers say.
• BBB sets standards for and evaluates the practices of thousands of charities so that donors know where their money is going.
