Title for the Listing:
This is where you need to have a
relatively short but succinct description of what the business
actually is. Be enthusiastic but honest. This
is the descriptive text that a potential purchaser sees when your
listing comes up in response to his search. You have
80 characters maximum to encourage him to look further at the
"details" of your own business (as compared to someone else's).
Please do not use all capital letters or any unusual characters.
Business Location:
Here, you enter the first 3 characters
of the Canadian Postal Code for the business. If the
business is "Relocatable" (see below), then it won't really
matter what Postal Code you choose for entry here, except that
it is also used to indicate the Province (or part) that the
business is currently located in. Note: this vagueness of
location is done intentionally so as not to jeopardize the
current business operation when customers and employees
find out about your sale prematurely. If you are not
concerned about casual browsers knowing the location of
your Business For Sale, then you can state it somewhere
else later in one of the following text description boxes.
If the business is "Relocatable" and you really don't want
to reveal what province it's currently operating in, then
use a Postal Code starting with the letter "Q" like: "Q0A"
and the Province line will simply say: "Canada".
Relocatable:
Can the Business be relocated to anywhere in Canada without a
significant change to its operation ? This is a Yes/No
question and is usually answered as "No". To be
relocatable, the business must be something like a
home business or mail-order business where the only
contact with the customer is by phone/mail/e-mail -
there is no building structure that your customers
would ever need to see, and no reason whatsoever that
it is currently located where it is.
Primary & Alternate Business Categories:
These are category descriptions that describe the general
class for your type of business. Please make both
a first and second choice of the descriptions that best
classify your type of business. Your choices
here are important because a prospective purchaser may
decide to only look at certain types of businesses.
Try to choose one that is quite general,
and the other one more specific.
Asking Selling Price:
Enter the price (in Canadian dollars - no pennies)
that you want for the sale of
the business. This should be the price that you want
for the main/principal part of the business. If
there are portions of the business that are optional
and/or extra, you will have a chance later to list these
with their additional prices.
Your E-mail Address:
This is your own e-mail address. It must be a real
valid address. It will be used by
BusinessSellCanada to correspond with you -
and for the initial enquiries from prospective purchasers.
Please remember to check your e-mail regularly - at least
once a day while your listing is current - as purchasers
may wander off to other listings if you don't respond
to them promptly. If for some reason your listed e-mail
address becomes inoperative, please contact us immediately
- or change it yourself on the listing. Listings with
inoperative e-mail addresses or "Full" mailboxes will be
removed without warning and much of your listing time
will be lost !
Business Owner or Broker/Agent:
This is where you declare if you are the "Owner" of the
Business being sold, or if you are a "Broker" or "Agent"
working for the business Owner. In general, if you
are not the actual owner of the company, then you are a
Broker/Agent. If you are required by law to make
a further declaration in this regard, please include it
in one of the descriptive paragraphs following.
Internet URL of the Web Site for the Business:
This is an optional listing field and you can leave it
blank if you like. However, if your business has a Web
site, and if you want to permit purchasers to browse through
that site, then list it here. You must enter the complete
URL starting with "http://www. ..etc..". Please
check your site first to make sure that there is no information
on it that you wouldn't want a prospective purchaser to know
initially: such as a telephone number - or a street address.
Internet URL of a Picture of the Business:
This is an optional listing field and you can leave it
blank if you like. However, if there is a picture of your
business (or perhaps of your product) that is already on the
Web, you may want to allow it to be shown here. You will
need to enter a complete URL starting with "http://www. ..etc..",
and ending with ".gif" or ".jpg". The
picture should be about 400 to 600 pixels wide in order
to display properly. Please consider this as a very
positive feature of your listing. Purchasers like to
see a picture of your business or product. If you have
difficulty in getting the picture to display properly, then
please e-mail us afterwards with the details, and we'll help.
