Kansas City Business Broker

Not Your Typical Milquetoast M&A Firm

Chad Peterson is an entrepreneur like you that has been through the self employed trenches. No sliver spoon was given to Chad, he had humble beginnings and could have chosen to rely on excuses and failed. He chose what you did; to succeed. Chad used his tenacity and determination, the grit he possesses to boot strap himself through commercial airline piloting school, and then to a successful multi business entrepreneur. Having built and sold several businesses in his own life, he has a unique background that translates to real world application to help you as a business owner who wants to sell.

Peterson Acquisitions is unlike any business broker you will ever meet. We are tough, we are full of grit and drive. We are serious about selling businesses. We are not for everyone. Our clients are those who are just as serious about selling their business as we are.

We come on strong, we keep our foot on the gas, and we don’t stop working until we get the job done. If that sounds like the kind of business broker you need fighting in your corner, schedule a confidential, no obligation discovery call right now.

A True Story from Chad Peterson

About 2 years ago a man and his wife called me about selling their business. 

After analyzing their previous 3 years of tax returns, I calculated a market value and called her to let her know exactly what the business was worth in today’s market. I could tell you how the phone call went, but the bottom line is they didn’t agree with the valuation.

The Stakes Are High

After I informed them of the target valuation, they told me they would “get back to me”. I didn’t hear from them for almost 2 years…then they called me back.

“Chad can you help us? We hired a broker, and we have been at this for over a year and the business isn’t sold and we really need to sell it.”

I kindly asked “Why did you hire another broker?” She said “Because we thought that we could get more money and this broker told us that we should ask for more money as well.” I gave her very candid and frank advice, like we do with all our clients and told her that she made a huge mistake:  “If you go to the market with too high of a price tag the banks won’t finance the buyer. Not to mention the prospective buyers had no real value in buying your business because the debt service payment due to the bank is so high, the way your old business broker priced it out, the buyer would be paying an exorbitant amount of money to the bank loan in order to acquire your business. A good business broker should not have led you down that path!”

Choosing the Wrong Business Broker Hurts

The sellers in this true story, a husband and wife, are worn out and now they have even more health problems. On top of that, their poor selling strategy distracted them for over a year and took focus away from their business.  Sales and profits dropped as a result, making the business to be worth less than when they started the process…all because they chose the wrong business broker. 

We won’t let this happen to you, make Peterson Acquisitions part of your success strategy today.
