Tons of businesses trade. I'm sure you know this but whole businesses aren't traded, it's generally just a peice of the company in the form of shares.
Any publicly traded company would be on the stock exchange. There is just about everything, clothes, food, restaurants, websites, medical research, internet websites, etc, the list goes on and on and on. Chili's (Brinker), Costco, Walmart, Pepsi, AT&T, Macys and so forth.

public companies = companies owned by shareholders.
shares are traded on the stock exchange
each stock exchange worldwide has its own rules for listing companies
to be listed on NYSE for example, the company needs at least a milion shares worth $100 mil and the earnings in the last 3 years must be over $10 mil
