Check With The Better Business Bureau First

Doing Business Online?

Check With The Better Business Bureau!

I filed a complaint a couple of weeks ago with the Better Business Bureau. I wish I had checked before I invested my money!! The Better Business Bureau is there for you!

If you are wondering who to trust when doing business online, it is always a good idea to check into the company’s standing with the BBB. Not that everyone who you may possibly be considering doing business with will be accredited, but a business that has a complaint against them will be listed regardless of whether they are accredited or not. Can you trust the person you are giving your money to?

Better Business Bureau Accreditation

When a business applies for accreditation with the Better Business Bureau, the BBB then determines if the business meets certain standards which include a commitment to make a good faith effort to resolve any consumer complaints.

The business pays a fee for accreditation, periodic reviews and monitoring that insures that the business serves the needs of the customers with integrity. The BBB is not endorsing nor have they even evaluated the products.

Check The BBB For Major Purchases Or Investments

In the past when making a major investment in a company I have checked the BBB for complaints but this time I did not. Although I was not well acquainted with the owner or his company, he came highly recommended by industry peers.

After investing a substantial sum into the company in May 2011, I have as yet (Nov. 2011) only received a small part of the promised services.  With continued effort and communication on my end and a focus on compromise, the company is non-communicative. They have not responded to the BBB either.

I just applied for my BBB accreditation. Look for the BBBOnLine seal on this site soon and make sure you take the time to investigate before investing!!
