Testimonials
We recently sold our 2nd generation family business through Brad Peterson at Sunbelt. I highly recommend Brad. He was genuine, hardworking, down-to-earth, and trustworthy, and always had our best interest in mind. When an obstacle arose, he would come to us with an idea or solution and say, “I’ve got some ideas.” I felt comfortable telling him anything I was thinking. It was such a great experience. If you are considering selling, you will not be disappointed. Thank you, Brad!

Brad Peterson is one of the most honest, authentic, caring people I’ve ever met. There were many uncontrollable and unforeseen circumstances that happened along the way, but nothing rattled Brad. He would say every sale is a little different, but we will get through it. Something would come up and he would say, “Let me check on that,” then always came back with a solution. He was a workhorse. We felt he was always fighting for us to get the most out of the company. I almost wish I had more companies for him to sell for me. If I had to describe Brad, it would be: a man you can trust!
-Matt M.
We had a great experience working with Brad Peterson on our transaction. He was very patient, knowledgeable and helpful. We had been working together for a while to find the right time to sell our business. Brad never pressured us or made us feel rushed. He walked us through every step of the process and was a great advocate when it came time to deal with the buyers. I would highly recommend Brad and Sunbelt!

We had a wonderful experience selling our business with Tom Boyd and Bradley Peterson. They were both very competent, leading us through the process of selling our business. They were very attentive to our needs and always responded quickly with every phone call or email. The whole process from start to finish was seamless. I am grateful to both for the great job that they and the Sunbelt Advisors team did for us. We are now happily retired!

Sunbelt is by far one of the best in the industry! Their brokers are on point and they get the deal done. I was looking for a new business and closed the deal within 4 months. I recommend talking to Brad Peterson if you are looking to buy or sell a business!

Our Sunbelt experience was great. We learned of Sunbelt through a business seminar which was referred to by my roundtable advisor a few years ago. We met with them and they helped educate us on what to do to make our business marketable. We met annually, getting more educated on what to do. They never pressured us to sign on. We met Brad Peterson, who was very knowledgeable about our industry. Brad was very patient and professional and guided us through the whole process. We were very comfortable with Brad, with his honesty and keeping our best interest in mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better representative for us and our business. We would highly recommend Brad and Sunbelt.

At Sunbelt Business Advisors, I had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know Brad Peterson and Doug Pedersen. Reaching retirement age, I decided to contact Sunbelt to pursue the possibility of selling my company. Brad and Doug immediately went to work compiling all my financial records and conducting an in-depth analysis of my business and how best to reach 10,000 buyers. In a short time, I realized my plan to retire was being fulfilled in the most professional manner imaginable.
