What Is Business-to-Business (B2B)?

The business-to-business model involves the exchange of products and services between companies. To furnish the raw materials required to manufacture a product, for instance, one company might enter into a contract with another business. While some businesses employ firms to market their goods and services, safeguard their operations, create their logo, or create website content, others may need to buy products from other businesses to stock their shelves. (Ridofranz, 2022)



(Chen, J. (2022)

KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • Business-to-business (B2B) is a transaction or business conducted between one business and another, such as a wholesaler and retailer.
  • B2B transactions tend to happen in the supply chain, where one company will purchase raw materials from another to be used in the manufacturing process.
  • B2B transactions are also commonplace for auto industry companies, as well as property management, housekeeping, and industrial cleanup companies.
  • Meanwhile, business-to-consumer transactions (B2C) are those made between a company and individual consumers. (Chen, J. (2022)

Online C2C company sites include Craigslist, Etsy, and eBay, which sell products or services through a classified or auction system.

Some C2C companies have problems, such as a lack of quality control and payment guarantees.

C2C can be contrasted with B2C and B2B business models.
