"...I've met a lot of business brokers... no one's going to work harder for you than Chad ..."

Ryan Parshall, Former Agency Owner

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

– Mark Twain

St. Louis Business Broker

Not Your Typical Milquetoast M&A Firm

Like every entrepreneur, Chad Peterson has also been through the self employed trenches. Chad had humble beginnings. He did not have a strong support system to back him up. He could have easily chosen to rely on excuses for his circumstances. But, like you, he chose to succeed.

Chad used his grit and perseverance to reach where he is today. He is determined enough to boot strap himself through commercial airline piloting school, and then to a successful multi business entrepreneur.

He has built and sold several businesses in his own life. His unique background can help you sell your business successfully as a business owner.

No other St. Louis Business Broker works the way we do on Peterson Acquisitions. We are serious about selling businesses. We are tough, full of passion and drive. Yes, we are not for everyone. We love to work with clients 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.

What Happens if You Hire the Wrong St Louis Business Broker?

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.
