Business-to-Business (B2B) refers to commercial transactions between companies rather than between a company and individual consumers. Examples include a manufacturer selling components to an assembly plant, a software company providing services to other businesses, or a wholesaler supplying retailers. B2B transactions typically involve larger volumes, longer-term relationships, and more complex decision-making than consumer purchases. In economic development, municipalities often seek to attract B2B companies because they create employment and economic activity even without direct consumer visibility. B2B commerce represents a significant portion of economic activity.
