How do I send same message to many business not showing the names

[Fire Patty]

I need to send a form to over 50 businesses. How can I do it all at once
without revealing who received them. When they send it back, I need to be
sure that it does not go to any other receipient.

Use Word's mail merge feature to send individual messages. That will also let you personalize them.

We usually use the BCC field but I'm not sure if there's any down side to
this

There are at least three down sides to Bcc:

1) Your ISP may not permit you to send to 50 Bcc recipients.
2) You can't control what the recipient sees in the To field, unless you put your own address there.
3) A message received as a Bcc (i.e. not as a To or Cc recipient) may be more likely to be marked as spam.
