BBB Cincinnati
Serving the Greater Cincinnati Area: Southern Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and Southeast Indiana
About Us
BBB has been the standard for ethics in business since 1912, and BBB Cincinnati has been the standard for excellence in the region since 1926. That gives us a century-old reputation of advancing and protecting America’s marketplace, nearly 100 years of experience serving and advocating for our local community, and a responsibility to local consumers, donors, entrepreneurs, and volunteers — one we take to heart. That’s why we work every day so that you can shop thoughtfully, give wisely, and run businesses and charities with passion and integrity. Through every program we run, event we host, service we provide, and organization we accredit, we give our best in the name of better business for all.
