MBO

What MBO does

MBO is a privately-held software company headquartered at 319 Westlake Ave N in Seattle, Washington, that operates a mobile-first business management platform for small and medium-sized service businesses. The product combines appointment scheduling, payment processing, invoicing, analytics and reporting, product/stock management, and email marketing in a single integrated suite, with end-customer-facing Progressive Web App (PWA) experiences and a companion mobile application. The platform is designed as a hybrid web-native application aimed at replacing fragmented or antiquated appointment systems in service verticals such as salons and spas.

The underlying technology is a Progressive Web Application that the company describes as leveraging modern payment, mobile and retail technology to deliver a friction-free service experience, supporting cash, credit, chip, check, gift card, Apple Pay and Android Pay transactions alongside optional point-of-sale hardware. MBO generates revenue through a subscription or usage-based model on its core platform, with add-on modules (Appointments, Invoicing, Payment, Analytics/Reports, Product/Stock) presented as part of a unified offering.

MBO's go-to-market motion is product-led and self-serve: business owners download the app or access the PWA to book appointments, sell gift cards, manage schedules, take payments and view dashboards. The company employs between 11 and 50 people per firmographic data, has no disclosed venture or private-equity funding, no named executive team, and no disclosed partnerships, integrations or named customers in the available source material. Its stated operating footprint is limited to Seattle, USA.
