B2B is an acronym for "business to business". A B2B business is one that provides products or services to
other businesses.

B2B Examples

Examples of a B2B business include:

 A medical billing service or software company


 A virtual assistant business
 A direct mail marketing service

How is B2B Different than B2C?

A B2C business is one that offers products or services direct to the consumer. Examples are:
 A gourmet pet foods business
 A home staging business
 A pet sitting business
Some businesses may operate as both B2B and B2C businesses. For example, a day care business may be
open to the public but may also provide special arrangements to care for the children of employees of a
local business as a group.

Also Known As: B to B, business-to-business

Examples:

Some entrepreneurs prefer running B2B businesses to avoid having to deal with the end consumer or to
better narrow their target market.
