Our Story

First in the West, Second in the Nation

Consolidated Business Services, LLC was started in 2012 as a cooperative effort between several telephone companies that wanted to share resources, in an effort to better service their members. By sharing resources the companies have been able to operate more efficiently and improve their bottom line.

The telecommunications industry is constantly undergoing rapid changes nationwide. Those include a changing demand for telephone, broadband and video services as well as regulatory changes at both the federal and state levels. As a result of the changing landscape, many small, independent, telephone companies are struggling to survive. By taking advantage of the CBS model, companies are able to benefit from economies of scale and save money while keeping up with ongoing regulatory and marketing changes.
