It also has a partner BBB system that serves much of Canada. In total, 145 BBBs help nearly 24 million consumers and businesses each year.

Since the founding of the first BBB in 1912, the BBB system has proven that the majority of marketplace problems can be solved fairly through the use of voluntary self-regulation and consumer education.

The BBB's Core Services include:

• Business Reliability Reports;
  
  
• Dispute Resolution;
  
  
• Truth-in-Advertising;
  

• Consumer and Business Education; and
  
  
• Charity Review.
