BBS Buying Group was created with one thought in mind: “Helping organizations retain more profit” Started in 2001, BBS Buying Group has grown from the culmination of Decades of service and experience in the Business Services and Financial industries. Founded to meet the needs of our entrepreneur and small and large business clients. We looked closely at these clients and identified a common basic suite of services each used extensively to operate and grow their business.
