About The Peterson Group

As a group of vested business brokers, The Peterson Group works with business owners and entrepreneurs to buy a business, sell a business or explore franchise development.

We Sell Businesses in Your Community

At The Peterson Group, we believe businesses are more than transactions; they are legacies, livelihoods, and the heartbeat of our communities. Founded by siblings Lynn Peterson, Eric Peterson, and Carrie Peterson, our team combines decades of experience in community banking, commercial finance, real estate, and business development with a deep-rooted passion for helping people navigate some of life’s biggest decisions. Raised on a farm near Centerville, SD, we understand the vital role local businesses play in creating opportunity, supporting families, and strengthening communities across South Dakota, North Dakota, and Iowa. Whether guiding a seller toward a successful transition or helping a buyer pursue the dream of business ownership, we approach every relationship with integrity, care, and strategic expertise. Through our partnership with Transworld Business Advisors, we provide the personalized attention of a local firm backed by the reach and resources of a global network, ensuring our clients have the tools, guidance, and confidence to move forward successfully.

Helping Entrepreneurs for 45+ Years

Transworld Business Advisors was founded in 1979 in South Florida by Don and Bonnie Parrish. And it quickly grew into one of the largest business brokerage firms in the United States. Although the company was thriving, CEO Andrew Cagnetta envisioned even more growth. It wasn’t long before United Franchise Group CEO Ray Titus and Cagnetta teamed up to offer Transworld Business Advisors as a franchise. With more than 30 years of experience in franchising, Titus provided the leadership under United Franchise Group, and Cagnetta provided the business brokerage industry experience. This symbiotic relationship has grown Transworld into more than 250 locations around the world and has helped more than 15,000 business owners sell their businesses.

Why Sell With Transworld?

When a business owner needs to sell their company, they can’t just stick a For Sale sign in the window. (At least, not anymore.) That’s where business brokers come in. By bringing in someone with deep experience evaluating potential businesses and franchises, and overseeing the entire transaction, you can rest assured you’ll get the most possible for your business.
