ABOUT US
Who are we?
Peak Capital Group is based right here in the Palouse region. We’re not flipping businesses—we’re helping owners transition their legacy the right way. Whether you're ready to exit in 6 months or 6 years, we’ll give you the tools, transparency, and time you need to do it right.
Local Focused
We’re not a faceless firm. We live here, work here, and invest here. Whether you're in Moscow, Pullman, Lewiston, or Clarkston, our goal is simple: support local business owners with real options and real respect.
Value Centered
“Value” means more than a price tag. We take the time to understand your goals, your legacy, and your principles—because how you exit matters as much as how you built it.
Our mission is simple:
Keep Local Business in Local Hands
To build long-term value in our community by helping business owners exit on their terms—without pressure, gimmicks, or outside suits.

FAQS
Do you offer finder’s fees for introducing potential sellers❓
Yes! If you connect us with a business owner who is interested in selling — and we successfully close the deal — you’ll earn a finder’s fee of 1% to 1.5% of the purchase price. For example, on a $1,000,000 business, that’s $10,000 to $15,000 paid directly to you for making the introduction. Whether you're a broker, a friend of the seller, or just someone with a great network, we’re happy to reward valuable connections. Reach out to [email protected] with your finds!
What kinds of businesses are you looking to acquire?
We focus on acquiring established, profitable small businesses — typically between a $500,000 and $5 million valuation. We’re especially interested in companies with strong local reputations, recurring customers, and leadership that’s open to a smooth transition. If you’re unsure whether your business qualifies, reach out — we’re always happy to talk.
What happens to the employees after you buy a business?
We know a company is only as good as its people. In most cases, we aim to keep the existing team in place, including managers and key staff. Our goal is to strengthen what’s already working — not to disrupt it. We’ll work with the seller and employees to ensure a transition that’s transparent, and supportive.
