About the Company

The traditional business brokerage industry is broken — slow, opaque, and built for insiders. We're changing that.

Bizbe is an AI-native business brokerage and lower middle market M&A firm on a mission to make small business ownership accessible to everyone. We believe the single most powerful path to building real wealth isn't a 401(k) or a stock portfolio — it's owning a business.

We work with sellers to list, market, and transact their businesses from start to close. Our AI-driven platform does what legacy brokerages can't: it cuts through the friction, gets the right businesses in front of qualified buyers fast, and guides both sides through the process until the deal is done. We only get paid when you close — so our success is tied directly to yours.

Whether you're a first-time buyer looking to own your future, a corporate professional ready to bet on yourself, or an operator building a portfolio — Bizbe is the platform that gets you there.

Business ownership shouldn't be reserved for the privileged few. We're here to change that.

Broker Biography

Introduction

Stephen McKinney
Co-Founder & CEO — Bizbe | AI-Native Business Brokerage & Lower Middle Market M&A Firm
New York, NY | Offices in Miami, FL • New York, NY • Monterrey, Mexico

I'm Steve McKinney, Co-Founder and CEO of Bizbe — the leading AI-native business brokerage and lower middle market M&A firm built for small businesses. I didn't come up through traditional finance or banking. I built, scaled, and sold businesses myself for a decade — which means when I sit across the table from you, I have actually been where you are.

As the owner of Retty Logistics, I grew revenue from $50K to $6M in under eight months, scaled to 170 employees and 80 vehicles across three states, and was awarded contracts with Amazon, FedEx, XPO, Lowe's, and Herman Miller. I ultimately negotiated the sale of those operations — and that firsthand experience on the seller's side of the table is a big part of why Bizbe exists.

Since then, I've closed over $30M in small business transactions and built Bizbe into a multi-market firm operating across New York, Miami, and Monterrey, Mexico representing tens of millions in enterprise value. Earlier in my career, I led operations and business development at DetraPel — a hydrophobic protective coatings company I helped bring to Shark Tank, where we secured investment from Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner. Before that, I founded Broadly Media Group a leading marketing and advertising company in Massachusetts which produced thousands of pieces videography, photography, and drone content for university systems and multi billion dollar corporations.

I hold a BA in Entrepreneurial Business and Global Leadership from UMass Amherst, am a licensed Real Estate Salesperson, and am an Eagle Scout.

At Bizbe, I personally oversee every deal from origination to close. Whether you're a seller ready to exit or a buyer ready to own your first business, I'd welcome the conversation.
