A \(*\)-algebra \(\mathcal A\) is called proper if the equality \(x^*x=0\) (\(x\in \mathcal A\)) implies \(x=0\), and completely proper if the algebra \(M_n({\mathbb C})\otimes {\mathcal A}\) is proper for all \(n\). The author studies connections between the complete properness of a \(*\)-algebra and its \(C^*\)-representability, that is the existence of a faithful representation by bounded operators on a Hilbert space. In particular, for a semisimple \(*\)-algebra the complete properness is equivalent to the \(C^*\)-representability.
