About Peter Gregory

Peter Gregory | 58••••••50 | p••••••••@fcbb.com | https://westchesternorth.fcbb.com/ As a seasoned business appraiser and broker, I guide entrepreneurs through the most significant transitions of their professional lives with expertise and personalized attention. I help clients understand the true value of what they\'ve built and navigate the complexities of business sales and acquisitions—knowledge many don\'t realize they need until they\'re ready to make a move.My background gives me a unique perspective that few in this field possess. As a founding member and CFO of a final mile delivery company that grew from 3 trucks to over 400 before selling to a public company for $60 million, I\'ve lived the entrepreneurial journey firsthand. With over three decades of moving innovative ideas to market—from Fortune 100 leadership roles to economic development and academic environments, I bring practical experience across hospitality, professional services, retail, training, and high-tech industries. This diverse background has honed my ability to analyze financials, identify value drivers, and position businesses for optimal outcomes.What sets my service apart is the deeply engaged approach I take with both buyers and sellers throughout the entire process. I\'m not a \"set it and forget it\" broker. I develop strategic positioning that showcases each business in its best light while maintaining strict confidentiality. Drawing on my leadership experience, I identify key negotiation points that others might miss, keeping transactions grounded in reality while ensuring both parties win. My clients appreciate my approachable style, thoughtful questions about their motivations, and the calming effect I bring to what can be an emotional process.Serving NY, NJ, and CT, I\'m proud to be part of a leading-edge firm with the top producers in the country—a distinction I\'m also actively working toward achieving. When you\'re ready to buy or sell a business, I offer the expertise to convert theory into reality and the commitment to make your transition as seamless and successful as possible. Give me a call to share the story of your business and plans for the future!
