About

A Brokerage Built by an Owner. Run by Advisors Who Have Done This Before.

Peterson Acquisitions was founded by Chad Peterson, an owner who built, bought, and sold his own businesses before he started selling them for other people. Today the firm sells privately held businesses for owners nationwide across 10+ markets.

Every sale gets one advisor from the first call to closing, backed by the full team. We are selective about the businesses we take on, we tell owners the truth about price, and we do not list a business we do not believe we can sell.

The team

How it works

Three Steps. You Stay in Control of Every One.

Most owners have never sold a business. You do not need to know the process. You need to know where you stand, and what happens next.

Tell Us About Your Business
One confidential conversation. We learn the business, the numbers, and what you want from a sale. Nothing is shared with anyone.
Get a Clear Number and a Plan
A valuation grounded in real transactions and the buyers active in your industry. A timeline. A recommendation. Then you decide whether to go to market.
We Run the Sale
Confidential marketing, buyer screening, offers, negotiation, due diligence, and closing. You keep running the business while we run the process.

Confidential. No cost. No obligation.
