AUSTIN, Texas - s4story -- Austin, TX – BizScout, the fastest-growing marketplace for Main Street business acquisitions, today announced a partnership with Legacy AI, the AI-powered platform hundreds of brokers rely on to manage their M&A deals. The partnership gives brokerage firms direct access to BizScout's marketplace of active buyers, flowing into Legacy AI in real time, so every listing meets more qualified demand from the day it goes live. No new software, no change to how their teams work.

For most brokers, the hard part was never managing the deal. It was finding the right buyer. That work stays relationship-bound and capped by the size of each firm's network, so strong listings can sit, not because the business is weak, but because the right buyer never saw it. This partnership removes that ceiling and puts a growing pool of active demand behind every deal a broker runs.

Buyer interest surfaced on BizScout now appears inside Legacy AI automatically, next to the listing it belongs to. No manual entry, no exported lists, no second system to check. Every buyer arrives with complete information, so brokers review screened interest rather than raw inquiries. Brokers decide who to engage and when.

Broker control is built into the integration. Firms choose which listings to syndicate to BizScout, confidential details stay behind NDA, and the broker decides which buyers to advance and when. Listing agreements and engagement terms with sellers are untouched. Brokers keep the client relationship and the full fee.

"The best tool for a broker is the one they already use. What they need is more of the right buyers," said Bobby Graham, President of BizScout. "So we brought demand to the system they already trust instead of asking them to adopt one more platform. They stay in control of the listing and the relationship. We just make sure the buyer pool is bigger than their Rolodex."

The timing helps. Millions of boomer-owned businesses are expected to change hands this decade, one of the largest ownership transfers in generations. Many will never find a buyer. Reaching enough qualified, ready buyers is a large part of whether a listing sells, and most firms are limited to the buyers in their own network.

Brokerage firms on BizScout report that 30 to 40 percent of their buyer activity comes from outside their own network. That's demand their existing referral base would never reach. The marketplace serves more than 180,000 active buyers and grows every week.

"We built Legacy AI because brokers were buried in CIMs, NDAs, and follow-ups, pulled away from the clients who matter," said Gal Barzilay, CEO and co-founder of Legacy AI. "We gave them speed. BizScout gives them reach. Now a broker can run the whole deal in one place, spend less time on buyer back-and-forth, and more time with the clients who matter."
