Sell your Dallas-Fort Worth business directly to the buyer.
McKee Texas buys established businesses in Dallas-Fort Worth and across Texas. You talk to the buyer from the first call, not a broker, and your business is never listed publicly. If the fit is right, we make an offer built around what you need from the sale.
The kind of business we buy
We buy established, profitable Texas businesses where the owner cares about what happens to the team and the customers after the sale. A typical fit looks like this:
- Manufacturing, services, distribution, retail or technology
- Usually $500K to $10M in yearly revenue
- At least 3 years in business
- Steady cash flow and customers who keep coming back
- Located in DFW (Dallas, Fort Worth, Lewisville, Denton, Plano, Frisco, Carrollton, Irving, Arlington, McKinney) or elsewhere in Texas
Not sure your business fits? Ask. One short call usually answers it, and it costs you nothing.
How selling to us works

A confidential first conversation
We talk about what you want from the sale: the price, the timing, how involved you want to stay, and what happens to your people. There's no obligation.

We review the numbers
You share 2 to 3 years of financials and walk us through how the business runs. We're happy to sign a confidentiality agreement before you share anything.

You get an offer you can check
We show you how we arrived at our number using your own financials, so you can review it with your CPA or attorney before you decide anything.

We agree on terms and a timeline
That includes how and when you're paid, how long you help with the handoff, and a realistic closing date. Everything is in writing.

Closing and the handoff
Your team stays, your name stays, and customers keep getting the service they're used to. We work around your schedule so the business keeps running normally.
Selling direct or listing with a broker
A business broker markets your company to many possible buyers and is paid a commission when it sells. That can bring in competing offers, and for some owners it's the right choice.
Selling directly to McKee Texas works differently. There's no listing and no broker commission, and you deal with one person from the first call to closing. Fewer people know the business is for sale, and decisions get made without a middleman. It makes sense when privacy, a good fit for your team, and a straightforward process matter most to you.
No public listing
Your employees, customers and competitors don't hear about a sale until you're ready to tell them.
No broker commission
You aren't paying a percentage of the sale price to a middleman.
Flexible terms
Some owners want a clean break at closing. Others would rather be paid over time, which often adds up to a higher total price. We'll walk you through the options and build the offer around what matters to you.
Questions owners ask about selling
What is my business worth?
Most small businesses are valued on what they pay the owner each year: profit plus the owner's salary and any personal expenses run through the business. That figure is multiplied by a number that depends on the industry, size, risk, and how much the business relies on you. We show you exactly how we got to our number, using your own financials.
How long does it take to sell a business?
It depends mostly on how current your books are and how the purchase is paid for. After we review your numbers, we'll give you a realistic timeline before you sign anything, and we'll work around your schedule.
Will my employees and customers find out?
Not from us. Your business is never listed publicly. You decide when and how to tell your team and your customers, and we'll help you plan that conversation.
Do I have to stay on after the sale?
That's part of what we agree on together. Most owners help with the handoff for a set period so customers and staff see a smooth change. Some stay longer because they want to. It's written into the deal either way.
What if I'm not ready to sell yet?
That's fine. Many owners start by getting the business ready: cleaner books, written procedures, and less dependence on the owner. See business consulting, or step back without selling if you're mostly tired of the day-to-day.
