Selling a business should begin with preparation, not advertising.
ProBX.ca — Professional Business Exchange — helps business owners prepare before going to market. A prepared seller understands what buyers, lenders and advisors will ask for — and has the answers ready before anyone is contacted.
The seller profile and readiness self-assessment are available now to signed-in participants. Not ready for an account? Use "I'm Considering Selling" to register early interest — no listing, no valuation, no commitment. Nothing is published or shared without your express authorization.

Seller Readiness
Available nowSeller Readiness is a structured self-assessment of how prepared a business is for a transition: the completeness of its financial information, the clarity of its ownership and legal position, the transferability of its operations, and the owner's timing and objectives. It produces a completion view and a list of missing requirements so the owner knows what to work on next.
Readiness reflects how complete your profile is against ProBX's preparation checklist. It is not a valuation, a financing decision, or a statement that you, a business, or a transaction is qualified, suitable, approved, or likely to succeed. You can change any answer at any time.
How is this calculated?
Each of the following checklist items contributes a fixed number of points when it is completed: reason or motivation for sale; transaction timeline; transition preference; seller-financing position; confidentiality preference; Seller Code of Conduct; business record; anonymized business profile; financial snapshot; private business identity. The calculation is a fixed rule set; no artificial intelligence is involved. Think this is wrong?
Opens in a separate AI tool. Results are for self-assessment and preparation only and do not constitute verified qualification, marketplace approval, valuation, legal advice or professional engagement.

- identify information gaps in financial, legal and operational records;
- prepare confidential business information in a structured, private profile;
