Overland Park, Kansas

Apex Business Advisors is a Kansas City-based business brokerage and M&A advisory firm helping business owners prepare for and successfully navigate the sale of privately held companies.

Founded in 1998, Apex has completed hundreds of transactions across a wide range of industries. Our team combines transaction experience with backgrounds in business ownership, banking, finance, accounting, operations, real estate, and corporate leadership.

Our approach begins well before a business goes to market. We work with owners to understand their goals, assess the business and its marketability, prepare it for the transaction process, and develop a strategy designed to attract qualified buyers while maintaining confidentiality.

Once in the market, Apex manages a structured process from buyer identification and qualification through offers, due diligence, financing and closing. We also work closely with the owner's existing attorneys, accountants, wealth advisors and other professionals to help keep the transaction coordinated and moving forward.

Our philosophy is straightforward: tell business owners the truth, prepare thoroughly, and execute at a high level.

About

Apex Business Advisors is led by Managing Partners Andy Cavanaugh and Jason Moxness, who acquired the firm from longtime owner Doug Hubler in 2026.

Andy and Jason bring complementary backgrounds to the firm. Andy's experience spans business ownership, consulting, corporate operations and business brokerage, while Jason brings more than 30 years of banking experience, including building and leading SBA lending platforms and working extensively with acquisition financing.

Together, they are focused on building upon the foundation Apex has established since 1998 while continuing to strengthen the people, processes, technology and resources available to Apex advisors and their clients.
Doug remains with Apex as a business intermediary, providing continuity for his clients and the firm while continuing to advise business owners through transactions.

Apex is headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas and serves business owners throughout the Kansas City region and beyond.
