Why Bishop Business: Rooted in the Midwest. Driven by Innovation.
Locally owned, led, and managed since 1954. We don't report to Wall Street; we report to our community.
Our Foundation
Bishop Business was founded in 1954 on a very simple premise: provide Midwestern businesses with the best technology available, backed by relentless, local customer service.
Over the last seven decades, the technology has evolved dramatically. We have transitioned from mechanical calculators and typewriters to advanced multi-function print technology, touchless hydration ecosystems, and automated digital workflows.
But while the hardware has changed, our core philosophy hasn't. We ensure that when your workplace stops working, a factory-certified technician is immediately dispatched to your door from one of our five strategic Midwest hubs:
- Omaha, NE (Headquarters)
- Lincoln, NE
- Grand Island, NE
- Norfolk/Pierce, NE
- Lawrence, KS
The Difference is in the Dispatch
The Typical Vendor
- Impersonal Support: Endless phone loops and generic ticketing queues where your business is just an account number.
- Rigid Catalogs: Being forced into a "one-size-fits-all" product line just to meet a national manufacturer's quota.
- Fragmented Service: Unreliable response times from outsourced, third-party technicians.
- Billing Chaos: Confusing, multi-vendor invoices padded with hidden fees.
The Bishop Partnership
- Instant Local Dispatch: Real Midwest dispatchers answer your call immediately.
- Tailored, Multi-Brand Solutions: As an independent dealer, we aren't tied to a single catalog. We design the exact right solution for your workflow.
- Factory-Certified Experts: Our local "Pit Crew" technicians are heavily trained on industry-leading architecture, ensuring your office technology never bottlenecks your team.
- Single-Invoice Predictability: One vendor, one handshake, and one predictable monthly bill.
Executive Leadership
Our leadership team brings decades of industry expertise to the table, ensuring Bishop Business remains at the forefront of workplace technology and organizational culture.

Investing in the Neighborhoods We Call Home

The Bishop Care Crew is our dedicated community initiative, empowering our team members to volunteer their time, energy, and resources to local charities and non-profits across Nebraska and Kansas. We don't just work in the Midwest; we actively invest in the communities that have supported us since 1954.
