Welcome to UBZ, your Canadian business directory and community marketplace.
We’re Canadian, and we believe every business across Canada deserves a place to be discovered. UBZ helps businesses advertise for free, connects people with local products and services, and gives individuals a marketplace to buy, sell and share what they offer.
Our purpose is to support Canadian businesses, strengthen local connections and help build thriving communities across the country.
SUPPORT LOCAL. CONNECT LOCAL.
Behind every Canadian business is someone working to build something: a family serving its neighbourhood, a professional sharing their expertise or an entrepreneur turning an idea into a livelihood.
UBZ helps bring their work closer to the people who need it. Discover independent shops, skilled tradespeople, restaurants, retailers and local professionals. Learn about what they offer and contact them directly.
Whether you’re new to the neighbourhood or have called it home for years, there’s more to discover close to home.
YOUR BUSINESS. YOUR OWN PAGE. FREE.
Every business across Canada can advertise its business for free on UBZ.
Create a dedicated business page, like a single-page website that brings your information together. Give potential customers a place to learn about your business, explore your products and services, see your work and find the right way to contact you.
Your page can include:
• Business name and detailed description
• Products, services and relevant categories
• Photos of your business, products and previous work
• YouTube or Vimeo videos
• Business hours
• Address and location on the map
• Phone number, email and WhatsApp contact
• Website and social media links
Whether you already have a website or are creating your first online presence, UBZ offers another way to get discovered.
EXPLORE LOCAL WITH THE MAP
Looking for a nearby contractor, restaurant, retailer or professional?
Explore by category and location, or use the map to discover businesses and marketplace listings around you. See where they’re located and explore your neighbourhood or another community across Canada.
UBZ helps you discover the people, products and services that make each community its own.
CONNECT DIRECTLY
Depending on the contact details provided, customers can call, send an email, connect through WhatsApp, use UBZ’s in-app chat or visit an advertiser’s website and social media pages.
Ask about a product, discuss a service and arrange the next step directly with the business or individual.
A MARKETPLACE FOR EVERYONE
You don’t need to own a business to be part of UBZ.
Post items for sale, offer your skills or services and explore listings from other Canadians. Share photos, a description and a location so interested people can find you.
Give an item a second life, find something useful nearby or introduce your services to your community.
FIND WHAT YOU NEED WITH UBZ AI
Describe what you’re looking for in everyday language. UBZ AI helps refine your search by category, location and other available criteria, then points you toward relevant listings within UBZ.
UBZ AI can make mistakes. Confirm important details directly with the advertiser.
BUILDING A STRONGER CANADA, TOGETHER
We believe a strong Canada starts with strong local communities. Supporting Canadian businesses means supporting the people, skills and ideas that help those communities thrive.
UBZ is our contribution to that effort. We’re working to help local businesses gain visibility, create opportunities for entrepreneurs and encourage Canadians to discover what’s available close to home.
Every local purchase, new customer and community connection can be part of something bigger. Together, we can help build a stronger, more connected Canada.
