Better Business Bureau (BBB) is a

private, nonprofit organization that

provides services and programs to assist

consumers, businesses, donors, and

charities. The focus of BBB’s activities

is to promote an ethical marketplace

by encouraging honest advertising

and selling practices, effective dispute

resolution and charity accountability. The

services and programs offered by BBB, help consumers be more informed, and help businesses “grow”

with integrity at their core.

The BBB’s history dates back to 1912 making it one of the most successful nonprofit organizations in the

U.S. Originally, the BBB started out as Advertising Clubs, established to correct abuses in advertising. They

very quickly broadened their function to monitor other marketplace activities and business performance.

Today, there are 113 Better Business Bureaus in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Each BBB is responsible

for monitoring businesses that are headquartered in its region. BBB Denver/Boulder is proud to serve 12

counties and millions of consumers, and more than 100,000 businesses in the area since 1951.
