A nonprofit, association, or any organization running a BuddyBoss community needs a page that represents the group itself, not any one member, a place for mission statements, updates, and volunteer recruitment separate from personal profiles.
What BuddyPress Business Profile Does
BuddyPress Business Profile provides this, functioning like a Facebook Page inside your BuddyBoss site. The same underlying page type covers businesses, organizations, fan pages, and more, category is what tells them apart.
