Chad Peterson
Peterson Acquisition
Serving Cobb County, GA
Peterson Acquisitions was founded out of a necessity to provide business owners the aggressive and competent effort it truly takes to sell a business. Anyone can slap a business for sale on the web, but that is not how businesses are sold. It takes much more than a creative ad to get a buyer and a seller to a deal. So what makes us different than the other brokers you may ask? Its simple--DRIVE, AMBITION, AND RESULTS. We work tirelessly to match make for buyers and sellers. As a business owner, you spent your life building your business, it wasn't a part time deal for you to win as you have. We take the same approach with our work. We are dedicated and relentless to a process that ensures a victory for you, and the buyer. When you are ready for REAL results, and a company that can match and more than likely exceed your level of work ethic, contact us.

Wholesale and distribution businesses are a pivotal part of the supply chain, operating in-between product manufacturers and retailer businesses. These businesses purchase goods in large quantities directly from manufacturers or producers, benefiting from lower costs per unit, and then redistribute these goods in smaller quantities to various outlets, or in some cases, individual customers.
Whether you are considering buying or selling a wholesale and distribution business, having some context is important for evaluating individual businesses relative to the market. To that end, we have aggregated business for sale listing data of wholesale and distribution businesses and surfaced key financial metrics and valuation multiples based on asking prices.
