Better Business Bureau brings new look to BBB Business Review 


Starting October 17th, your BBB Business Review www.bbb.org/mbc will have a whole new look and functionality. Most importantly, is the adoption of a name change from Business Reviews to “Business Profiles.” Through extensive research, it was found that “BBB Business Profile” explained the online database better than “BBB Business Review.”

BBB serving Mainland BC is proud to be the first bureau in the North American BBB network to adopt these changes. The rest of the 108 bureaus will follow suit over the next few months.
