About BizScore

One place to see the small businesses for sale across Canada, with the questions a careful buyer would ask already answered.

Buying an established business is how a lot of people become their own boss — and a wave of owners are retiring. But the listings are scattered across dozens of broker sites, and most leave out the numbers you need to tell a fair price from a hopeful one.

BizScore pulls them into one search and grades each on what it publishes: is the price in line with similar businesses, what’s missing, could a first-time buyer finance it, and is the owner retiring. The rules are all on How we grade.

Who runs it

BizScore is built and run by Konstantin Virolainen in Toronto — a product manager and software engineer who started looking at buying a small business and wanted this site to exist.

What it isn’t

We aren’t a broker, we don’t represent sellers, and we don’t take listings. You contact the listing broker directly. Nothing here is financial or legal advice.
