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.
