Peterson Acquisitions was not born in a Wall Street skyscraper. It wasn’t founded by investment bankers, private equity executives, or a room full of attorneys analyzing spreadsheets. Peterson Acquisitions was built through entrepreneurship, hard work, real-world business ownership, and a deep understanding of what it means to create value in the marketplace.
1. How do buyers find a suitable business for sale since most businesses are not advertised?
Once we understand your acquisition criteria, industry preferences, investment range, and goals, we help identify business opportunities that align with your objectives through our network, seller relationships, and confidential marketing process.
2. How do buyers get the necessary information to make a buying decision?
Qualified buyers receive detailed business information, financial records, and relevant documentation necessary to evaluate an opportunity. We help facilitate access to information needed for informed decision-making and due diligence.
3. How does Peterson Acquisitions assist me as a buyer?

Long before Chad Peterson became an author, acquisition advisor, business broker, or educator, he unknowingly became an entrepreneur. As a teenager, Chad built his first company. It wasn’t glamorous. It wasn’t the type of business that people brag about at cocktail parties. It wasn’t the next technology startup or a venture-backed success story. It was simply a business that solved a problem and generated income.
Then something happened that would forever shape Chad’s understanding of wealth and entrepreneurship.
By the age of eighteen, a gentleman approached Chad and purchased that business. While the transaction itself may not have seemed significant at the time, the lesson it taught would become the foundation for everything Chad would build in the years ahead. For the first time, he experienced a liquidity event. He realized that there was a substantial difference between earning a paycheck and owning an asset.
This realization changed the trajectory of Chad’s life.
Over the next several decades, Chad built, acquired, operated, and sold multiple businesses. Through those experiences, he gained firsthand knowledge of what it takes to create value, grow companies, navigate challenges, manage risk, and ultimately transition ownership.
More importantly, he learned that business ownership is not simply about generating income. It is about creating assets that can provide opportunities far beyond a paycheck.
As Chad’s experience grew, so did his desire to help other entrepreneurs achieve similar outcomes.
Since 2004, Chad Peterson has worked alongside business owners throughout the United States, helping them understand the value of what they have built and guiding them through the process of creating liquidity events through business sales and acquisitions.
Unlike many advisors who have spent their careers inside corporate environments, Chad’s experience comes directly from the world of entrepreneurship.

They are the individuals who worked nights, weekends, and holidays to create something meaningful.
They are the people who signed personal guarantees, risked their savings, and carried the responsibility of making payroll every month.
