Well, TIL that this Non-profit Organization "profited", only in 2013, almost 200 million dollars.

Most of that money comes from membership payments of thousands of companies. These payments vary depending on the size of the company and of course you can also buy extra accreditation and plaques that confirm the super quality of the products or the goodies of the company that pays those extras.

And not everyone can have BBB accreditation. You must "See if you currently meet BBB eligibility requirements" with a FREE(It's like it's written on the page) consultation ;)
