Launching 2026 B Corp readiness for small businesses

You're already doing the work
of a B Corp.
BeReady makes it visible.

B Corp certification shouldn't mean 40+ hours of scrambling through records at assessment time. BeReady connects to your sources of business activity and quietly tracks your impact all year long... so when certification comes, the work is already done.

Built for 1–30 employee businesses · Designed around the B Impact Assessment

The B Impact Assessment was built for accountability...
Not for business owners who already have a full plate.

The average small business spends 20 to 40 hours completing their first B Impact Assessment (BIA) — hunting through records, chasing documentation, reconstructing decisions made months ago.

For a business of five, ten, or twenty people, that's not a certification process. That's a second job.

And B Corp V2.1 — launched in April 2025 — has raised the bar further. Mandatory GHG disclosure. Third-party auditing. Phased improvement requirements. The certification has moved from a one-time sprint to an ongoing practice.

The businesses that struggle most aren't the ones that don't care. They're the ones that operate with integrity every day — and have no system tracking any of it.

Doing the right thing should be easier to do.

This is the principle behind every tool DoneRight builds.

Not: "here's a new system to learn." Not: "set aside time each week to maintain this." Instead: let the work you're already doing generate the outcomes you need — automatically, in the background, without a second thought.

With Proof, our reputation management tool for trades, a technician's existing end-of-job moment becomes a review request with one tap — no extra task, no separate workflow.

With BeReady, the same logic applies to B Corp readiness. Your bookkeeper is already processing transactions. Your team is already onboarding vendors, running payroll, serving the community. BeReady reads those existing activities and extracts B Corp signal from them continuously — so your certification readiness builds as a natural byproduct of running your business.

We call this workflow-native design. The tool works inside your life, not alongside it.

The B Corp readiness you've been building all along —
finally visible.

Every transaction, policy document, HR decision, volunteer hour, and supplier relationship your business produces is potential B Corp evidence. Most of it already exists — it just needs to be found, organized, and structured.

BeReady gathers it through two complementary approaches. Together, they're designed to reach evidence wherever it lives.

Purpose & Stakeholder Governance
Policy documentation, decision structures, and accountability mechanisms — tracked and organized.
Fair Work
Wages, benefits, and workplace practices — tracked from payroll and HR data.
Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
Inclusive workplace practices, supplier diversity, and community commitments — surfaced from the records you already keep.
Human Rights
Responsible practices across your team, suppliers, and customers — mapped from policies, relationships, and business activity.
Climate Action
Carbon-relevant spend, emissions signals, and climate-related practices — classified automatically.
Environmental Stewardship & Circularity
Supplier sustainability, waste, purchasing choices, and resource practices — organized into evidence you can use.
Government Affairs & Collective Action
Local supplier spend, charitable giving, advocacy, and community participation — inferred from your transactions and records.

Built into your workflow.
Not on top of it.

01

Connect to your business

Your B Corp evidence lives in the systems you already use — your accounting software, your cloud drives, your hard drives, your email. BeReady connects to all of them.

Link your bookkeeping platform and BeReady starts reading transactions, vendor relationships, and payroll immediately. Add AutoCapture and it reaches further (safely) — into your documents, policies, and records — finding evidence that numbers alone can't capture.

Start with what you have. Add more sources over time.

02

BeReady reads and classifies

Our AI tools map your transactions and vendor relationships across all seven B Impact Assessment topics. High-confidence items are categorized automatically. Uncertain ones surface for a quick human confirmation — never buried, never overwhelming.

03

Your team confirms, the system learns

A short weekly review queue — designed to take minutes, not hours. Tasks can be routed to the right person: the bookkeeper reviews financial classifications, the office manager confirms vendor attributes, the owner reviews governance items. BeReady learns your business with every interaction.

04

Your readiness score grows continuously

A live dashboard shows where you stand today, what moved this month, and where a small action would make the biggest difference to your score. No guessing. No surprises.

Two AI advisors are available whenever you need them. The Archivist knows your evidence collection — ask it to find records, surface documentation, or trace where a piece of evidence came from. The Assessor knows the certification framework — ask it to evaluate your gaps, pressure-test a business decision, or think through what it would take to improve your standing.

05

Export when you're ready

When it's time to complete your official B Impact Assessment, export a BIA-aligned data pack that maps directly to B Lab's platform. The documentation is organized. The evidence is ready. Assessment becomes a review, not a reconstruction... and if you need anything additional, you can always get The Archivist to quickly find the data you're looking for.

Connect once. Capture continuously.

Your evidence, wherever it lives — found automatically.

Your financial transactions tell a lot about your values. But some of the most important B Corp evidence — your governance policies, HR practices, environmental procedures, community commitments — lives in documents and files, not ledger lines.

AutoCapture connects to the drives, folders, and email labels you choose, and uses AI to read them for B Corp relevance. It finds evidence of your impact buried in the records your business already produces — and surfaces it for your review, ready to confirm and add to your readiness record.

It runs on a schedule. It only touches what you explicitly share. And nothing enters your record until a human approves it.

Smart discovery

AI reads your documents and identifies content relevant to B Corp impact areas — Workers, Community, Environment, Governance, and Customers — without you directing it.

Automatic and ongoing

Runs on a schedule you set, continuously surfacing new evidence as your policies and practices evolve — not just when you remember to check, and not just at assessment time.

You confirm everything

AI suggests; you decide. No evidence enters your BeReady record until you review and approve it. AutoCapture augments your judgment — it doesn't replace it.

Scoped access

You choose exactly which folders, drives, or email labels AutoCapture can read. It never accesses anything outside that explicit scope. No blanket permissions. Ever.

Fully visible

Every scan, connection, and discovery is logged and viewable. Nothing happens in the dark. You always know what AutoCapture found, when it scanned, and from where.

Full audit trail

Every confirmed evidence item traces back to its source document, scan date, and connector — so your record is always traceable and defensible at assessment time.

Safe by default. Configurable by design.

AutoCapture was built for small businesses that handle sensitive information. Two privacy modes let you match BeReady to your comfort level — and you can change modes at any time.

  cautious Mode
Default for most businesses
standard Mode
For organizations with IT oversight
What it accesses Only the specific folders or email labels you explicitly select — nothing else, ever Broader folder-level scopes available, with your explicit approval
Data retention Short-term (30–90 days for raw content); confirmed evidence kept as long as you need it Configurable, longer retention available
AI model use Your files are never used to train AI models. That is a founding commitment, not a policy. Same guarantee, always
Best for Most small businesses, especially those with client or employee data Organizations with a dedicated IT or operations team
"Your B Corp story is already written in your day-to-day operations. AutoCapture helps BeReady find it for you."

For the business that's already
living its values.

The B-Curious Business

You believe in what B Corp stands for. You just have no idea where you actually stand — and no bandwidth to find out.

BeReady gives you a live picture of your impact readiness, built from the work you're already doing. No consultant required.

The Certified B Corp

You've earned it. Now V2.1 demands ongoing proof of progress — Year 0, Year 3, Year 5.

BeReady keeps your evidence current, tracks improvement across all five pillars, and ensures your next assessment starts from strength.

We're looking for a few businesses to grow BeReady with.

BeReady is launching in 2026. Before we open the doors, we're inviting a small number of businesses to work directly with us — to test the product, shape the workflow, and help us discover how BeReady fits best into the realities of running a small, values-driven business.

This isn't a beta test in the traditional sense. It's a partnership. You bring your real business context and honest feedback. We bring a working product, hands-on support, and a genuine commitment to getting this right for businesses like yours.

Business is not separate from responsibility.

We believe small businesses are among the most powerful forces for good in any community. 

The B Corp movement exists because some businesses decided to be accountable for more than profit. We built BeReady because those businesses deserve tools that match their ambition — tools that reduce the burden of assuming greater responsibility. 

We're inspired by a principle older than any certification framework: that durable prosperity comes from taking care of relationships — with workers, with community, with the natural world. B Corp is a modern expression of that ancient operating logic. BeReady is how we help you live it without burning out.

BeReady's philosophy is shaped in part by the Indigenomics framework developed by Carol Anne Hilton (Hesquiaht Nation, Nuu chah nulth) — the idea that durable wealth is relational wealth, and that the most resilient businesses are the ones that take care of everything they depend on.

Our commitments

  • We will never sell your data.
  • We connect to accounting software with read-only access — we cannot make changes to your accounts.
  • We design technology to augment your judgment, not replace it.
  • We price transparently, without manipulation.
  • If we cannot honor these commitments, we do not proceed.

Less than one hour
with a B Corp consultant.

B Corp consultants typically charge $75–$150 per hour — and certification preparation takes 40 to 100 hours. BeReady does the year-round tracking work that would cost thousands to replicate manually, at a price designed for a five-person shop.

Full pricing publishes at launch. Early access members and founding partners get the lowest pricing we'll ever offer, locked for life.

Frequently asked

Does BeReady replace the official B Impact Assessment?

No. B Corp certification still happens through B Lab's official B Impact platform — and it should. BeReady prepares your data and documentation so completing the official assessment is faster, more accurate, and far less painful. Think of us as the year-round preparation layer.

Which accounting platforms do you connect to?

QuickBooks (and hopefully Xero and Wave) at launch. Additional integrations will follow based on user demand.

Do I need to be pursuing certification to use BeReady?

Not at all. Many early users are B-curious businesses that want to understand where they stand and track improvement over time — without committing to a certification timeline. BeReady is useful at every stage of the B Corp journey.

How much time does BeReady actually require from me?

A few minutes per week, declining over time as BeReady learns your business. Our review queue is designed to surface only what genuinely needs a human eye — everything we can handle automatically, we do.

Can I involve my team?

Yes — and this is an area we're actively developing with our early partners. BeReady is designed to route the right tasks to the right people, so B Corp readiness becomes a shared team practice rather than one more thing the owner carries alone.

Is my financial data secure?

Yes. We connect to accounting platforms using read-only API access — we cannot make changes to your accounts. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We will never sell your data. That is a founding commitment, not a policy.

What does AutoCapture access? Can I control it?

AutoCapture only accesses what you explicitly connect. When you set it up, you choose the specific folders, drives, or email labels you want it to read — nothing else is ever scanned. You can revoke access to any source at any time, pause scheduled scans, and review a complete log of everything it has processed. Your files are never used to train AI models. That is a founding commitment, not a policy.

What are "the Archivist" and "the Assessor"?

They are AI advisors built into BeReady to be valuable resources. The Archivist knows your evidence collection — it can find records, surface documentation, and help you understand what you have and where it came from. The Assessor knows the B Corp certification framework — it can evaluate your gaps, respond to "what if" questions about business decisions, and help you think strategically about your path to certification.

Both are AI language models. They're well trained to be highly knowledgeable in their subject area, honest about what they don't know, and designed to support your judgment — not replace it.

When does BeReady launch?

We're targeting a 2026 Q3 release. Early access members and founding partners are first in.
