What are the advantages of joining the Better Business Bureau?

I have a small retail business. I have been invited to join the Better Business Bureau. I am familiar with the BBB but before I join would like to get some opinions on the advantages of becoming a member. Are there any disadvantages to joining?

1. Their are plenty of advantages of joining the BBB; however make sure your business meets the criteria. The advantages to having a membership is to be updated on good business practices and updates to new business laws/regulations. It also helps resolve possible disputes with your customers/clients by using a form of mediation instead of tying up the busy court systems. It also allows your clients to research your business before contacting you for their needs. Some disadvantages are meeting the eligibility to join, having to follow up with monthly readings and updating your business profile. It can become very time consuming, but verses the pros's and con's I would say their are more pros's and you should definitely join.
