Register Your Business with the Better Business Bureau

Register with the Better Business Bureau to Set Your Creative Business Apart

Register your business with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to set your company apart as a reputable establishment. Because the BBB has local offices, in addition to its national headquarters, by registering your business with the organization you can increase the chances that your creative business will be found by consumers. 

Depending on where you live, to register your business with the BBB you may have to provide: 

• Official name of your creative business
• Other names your business may be referred by
• Creative business telephone number
• Street address, city, state and zip
• Email address
• Website URL for your creative business
• Type of business you operate (e.g. printing shop, flower shop, restaurant, accounting firm)
• Nature of your creative business (e.g. manufacturing, retail sales)
• Whether or not your business is a franchise
• Type of facility your business operates out of (e.g. warehouse, sales office, home based business)
• Licensing numbers for your business (if you operate a company that’s required to be licensed)
• Your name and address as the creative business leader of the company
• One or more business references
• One or more consumer references (satisfied customers)

Alert Customers to the Fact that Your Business is Trustworthy

Through the BBB you can also learn about local charities, business accreditation, awards and advertising reviews. You can also learn how to protect yourself (and your family members) from scams and how to secure online banking options. Get your creative business accredited by the BBB and you can alert customers and clients to the fact that your business is trustworthy. 

The Better Business Bureau is more than a place where customers can file complaints against companies that don’t deliver products as advertised. As a creative business leader you can register your company with the BBB and start networking with other business owners. You can also work with local companies listed with the BBB and create community events like marketing seminars, trade shows, marketplace festivals and job fairs, events that attract hundreds, perhaps thousands, of local residents, people who can become future customers.
