A service provider in the general sense is a vendor who supplies specialist services to other firms, rather than actual products. In recent years, the term has been used almost exclusively to apply to companies in the fields of communications and technology, such as Internet service providers (ISPs).

The distinction between services and products can be quite blurred: there are few pure services and few pure products. Service providers typically provide service ‘products’. These may be activities which are of an intangible nature (such as consulting, legal and processing) and which are supplied as a direct consequence of the contract that exists between the service provider and the customer.

Such companies usually provide their services to customers on a subscription basis – say 12-, 18- or 24-month contracts. Mobile-phone companies may also be included in this category but in addition to providing the service of access to a mobile phone network, they generally also supply products – mobile phones.

Some firms, such as banks and insurance brokers, also provide a service but are not generally thought of as service providers.

Other types of service provider include:

* Providers of building maintenance contracts
* Data storage
* Security solutions providers
* Storage providers
* Cleaning services
* Gardening services
* Pest control
