The Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) rating system reflect the organization’s opinion of how a certain business can be expected to interact with its’ customers. A company’s rating is determined based on specific information obtained by the BBB directly from the company’s themselves, as well as from public data sources. This information typically pertains to the company’s overall business practices, including complaints received from the public.
The BBB assigns ratings on a scale from F at the low end to A+ at the highest. In the worst cases, the BBB will issue a company an ‘NR,’ which signifies ‘No Rating.’ Companies can receive ‘NR’ when there is insufficient information available or the BBB is conducting an ongoing review or update of the company’s file.
Although BBB ratings do not guarantee a specific business’ reliability or performance, the BBB recommends that consumers utilize their ratings system, in addition to other relevant information available, to make the most informed decision possible.
BBB Standards
The BBB uses seven major factors to rate a business: the business’ complaint history, the type of business, amount of time in business, transparent business practices, failure to honor BBB commitments, licensing and government actions known to BBB, and advertising issues known to BBB.
There are also eight different ‘BBB Standards for Trust’ that accredited or member businesses are expected to adhere to: “Build Trust, Advertise Honestly, Tell the Truth, Be Transparent, Honor Promises, Be Responsive, Safeguard Privacy, and Embody Integrity.”
Advantages of Working with an A+ Company
An A+ rating is the highest achievable commendation available from the BBB, and a company that has achieved this rating has demonstrated a commitment to resolving consumer complaints in a satisfactory manner. It also signifies that the business is based on sound, ethical principles, and these principles are valued in every department, from advertising to customer service.
Companies that have received an A+ rating from the BBB have consistently shown the ability to deliver on their promises, both to customers and business partners. More significantly, consumers can typically expect A+ companies to perform better than their competitors, and they can expect them to maintain this high level of performance without compromising their integrity.
