Business Solution Provider
A Business Solution Provider is a company authorised by Meta to give other businesses access to the WhatsApp Business Platform, usually bundling software and billing on top.
Arrangements differ in ways that matter: some providers hold the WhatsApp Business Account themselves and resell numbers, while others connect an account the customer owns and never touch the billing relationship. Meta also uses the term Tech Provider for a related role. Ask any vendor which arrangement applies to you, in plain words, before you sign anything.
