B2B

What is B2B?

B2B (business-to-business) describes trade between companies rather than with individual consumers: raw materials sold to a manufacturer, software licensed to a firm, consultancy delivered to another business. B2B buying involves several people, longer decision cycles and specific commercial terms, which is why B2B marketing is built around evidence and relationships rather than impulse.
