“Fractional Acquisition Advisory — Without the Full-Time Overhead.”
Get Ready to Buy. Search With Discipline. Close With Confidence.
David Glanville & Company LLC helps entrepreneurs, operators, and acquisition-minded buyers prepare for, evaluate, and pursue small business acquisitions with structure, discipline, and strategic support.
We serve as your Fractional Acquisition Advisor — giving you a repeatable acquisition process from first criteria through a signed Letter of Intent, without the overhead of a full-time corporate development team. We prepare you to buy, bring disciplined judgment to the opportunities you pursue, and keep your acquisition on track to a credible offer.
Buying a business can be one of the most powerful ways to build wealth, expand operations, or enter a new market. But most buyers struggle with the same challenges:
That is where we come in.
We provide the readiness, disciplined deal judgment, and process structure that move buyers from "thinking about it" to a signed LOI.
We meet buyers wherever they are in the journey — and take them to the next stage. Our advisory begins with one gateway engagement and branches into the path that fits where you actually are.
Every buyer begins with Foundations. We define your criteria, map your target market, clarify your financing readiness, and build your outreach foundation — so you enter the market as a disciplined, focused buyer who knows exactly what to pursue and how.
For buyers actively hunting. Through month-to-month Deal Review & Pipeline Advisory, we become the experienced second set of eyes on every opportunity you find — screening for fit, reading deals clearly, and keeping your pipeline disciplined for as long as your search runs.
For buyers with a target in sight. Our focused, fixed-fee 5-Month Accelerated Plan carries you through readiness, deal modeling, and offer strategy to a signed Letter of Intent — so you reach the table as a credible buyer who makes a disciplined offer instead of stalling before one.
Foundations is the gateway. From there, buyers continue into ongoing search advisory or step directly into the 5-Month Sprint — and searching clients move naturally into the Sprint the moment the right target emerges.
We work with:
We don't just react to listings. We help define what kind of business you should pursue, and why, before you spend a day in the market.
We bring structure and discipline to a process that is otherwise confusing, fragmented, and time-consuming.
When opportunities come in, we help you read them clearly — fit, risk, financial profile, and deal economics — so you act on the right ones and pass on the wrong ones with confidence.
Our work is built entirely around helping buyers make informed acquisition decisions. We represent you — never the seller.
From a fixed-fee readiness gateway, to month-to-month advisory for an active search, to a five-month sprint to a signed LOI, you engage exactly the support your stage requires — and nothing you don't.
Small business acquisitions require hands-on coordination, disciplined evaluation, and steady follow-through. That's how we work.
Our process helps buyers move with clarity and confidence — from first conversation through a signed Letter of Intent.
Define your goals, budget, target industries, geography, deal size, and acquisition criteria.
Research the industries, markets, and target profiles that fit your strategy, so you know where to focus your own search.
As you source opportunities, we screen each one for fit, risk, financial profile, and strategic value — keeping your pipeline organized and your evaluation disciplined.
Model deal economics and debt service on serious targets, and pressure-test purchase price against what is realistically financeable — before you commit to an offer.
Clarify your financing position and prepare you to engage SBA-preferred or conventional lenders directly as an organized, credible buyer.
Translate the model into valuation rationale, deal structure, and terms, and support you through a credible, well-structured Letter of Intent.
Prepare you for the diligence phase ahead — document expectations, advisor line-up, and a clear roadmap — so you transition toward closing without losing momentum.

FIRST READ BUILT FOR BOTH SIDES OF THE TABLE
Our proprietary acquisition-analysis engine turns a target’s raw financials into a structured, advisor-verified read on earnings, value, and risk — generated by AI, reviewed by a credentialed M&A advisor.
Buyers use it to pressure-test a target before enthusiasm makes the decision for them: normalized SDE and EBITDA, a defensible valuation range, lease impact, and a ranked list of red flags they can take to a lender or use to walk away clean.
Business brokers and M&A intermediaries use it to stress-test listings before launch, qualify serious buyers faster, and defend asking prices with verified math — so deals reach LOI with numbers that hold up through diligence. AI for speed. Advisor judgment for discipline.
Plans are purchased via Stripe through our Calendly Link.
Starting at $250 per analysis.

Every successful acquisition begins with preparation. Our Acquisition Readiness Suite helps buyers evaluate their goals, financial readiness, acquisition criteria, operational capabilities, and overall preparedness before entering the market. We assess key areas such as target industry alignment, financing strategy, acquisition structure, search readiness, and due diligence planning — helping clients identify gaps, reduce risk, and build a more disciplined acquisition strategy before pursuing opportunities.
The Readiness Suite is the foundation of our gateway engagement — and the first step toward knowing whether you're ready to buy, and what to pursue when you are.
Plans are purchased via Stripe through our Calendly Link.

Most buyers approach acquisitions reactively. They browse listings, wait on brokers, or chase whatever opportunity appears next — and stall out when the process gets complicated.
We help clients become proactive.
David Glanville & Company LLC helps buyers build a disciplined acquisition system that prepares them to buy, brings clear-eyed judgment to the opportunities they pursue, and supports informed decision-making at every stage — through to a signed Letter of Intent.

David Glanville & Company LLC — Fractional Acquisition Advisory. Building smarter acquisition pathways for serious SMB buyers.
Every engagement begins with Foundations — the gateway that prepares you to buy and reveals your path forward. From there, the road forks based on where you actually are:
And the two connect: buyers searching with us step naturally into the 5-Month Sprint the moment the right target emerges.
One gateway. Two paths. The support your stage actually requires.

The Acquisition Readiness Suite is our custom propriety ip tools and documents.
David Glanville & Company LLC pre-screens all acquisition buyer clients prior to investing into our 'The Gateway plan' (the acquisition foundation engagement).
Get ready to buy — with clarity, criteria, and a real plan.
Most buyers jump into the market before they're ready. They chase listings without clear criteria, approach lenders without knowing their financing position, and burn months on deals that were never a fit. Foundations fixes that.
This focused 60–90 day engagement takes you from "I want to buy a business" to "I know exactly what I'm looking for and how I'll pursue it." By the end, you have defined acquisition criteria, a mapped target market, clarity on your financing readiness, and an outreach system ready to generate real conversations.
$4,500 Flat — 60 to 90 Days
A single fixed fee. No retainer commitment, no surprises. Foundations is where every client begins — and where your path becomes clear. From here, you move into ongoing search advisory if you're still hunting, or directly into the 5-Month Sprint if you already have a target.

What's Included
The Outcome
You finish Foundations as a prepared, focused buyer with a clear target, a realistic financing picture, and the tools to start generating opportunities — not a hopeful browser, but a disciplined acquirer ready to move. And you finish knowing your next step: keep searching with us, or sprint a target to LOI.
Your Path Forward
Foundations is the gateway. If you still need to find the right business, you continue into our Deal Review & Pipeline Advisory (Plan Two). If you already have a target identified, you move straight into the 5-Month Accelerated Plan to LOI (Plan Three).
Ready to Build Your Foundation?
A disciplined second set of eyes for as long as you're actively searching.
You've done the preparation. You know your criteria, your financing position, and your target market. Now you're in the market — finding listings, talking to brokers, working your own outreach — and discovering how easy it is to lose discipline when the deals start coming in. Which opportunities deserve real attention? Which are quietly wrong? Is this one priced at something you could actually finance?
Deal Review & Pipeline Advisory gives you an experienced acquisition advisor reviewing every opportunity you bring to the table — month after month — so you evaluate with discipline instead of enthusiasm, and keep your pipeline organized instead of scattered.
You source the deals. We help you read them clearly, screen them honestly, and keep the search moving.
$3,000/month — Month-to-Month
A true month-to-month advisory relationship. No long-term commitment, no minimum term, 30-day cancellation any time. This is the one ongoing relationship in an otherwise project-based suite — built to run exactly as long as your active search runs, and not a day longer.
Designed For
What's Included
The Boundary — What This Is and Isn't
This is advisory and judgment on the deals you source. It is not a sourcing service — you remain in control of your own outreach and broker relationships, and you engage lenders and licensed professionals directly. When a target emerges that you're ready to pursue seriously, that's the moment to step up into the focused, deal-specific work of the 5-Month Sprint.
The Natural Graduation
The day you identify the business you want to pursue, this engagement has done its job. You step into the 5-Month Accelerated Plan to LOI, where the work shifts from "review everything I'm finding" to "drive this one deal to a signed Letter of Intent." Clean handoff, no overlap — you're always in exactly one engagement, focused on exactly what your stage requires.
Ready to Bring Discipline to Your Search?
A fixed-fee acquisition sprint that takes serious buyers from target to a signed Letter of Intent — prepared, financing-aware, and ready to close.
When you're ready to move from interested to under contract, this focused five-month engagement compresses the path to a signed LOI on the right business. We get you prepared, financing-aware, and disciplined through every stage — so when you reach the negotiating table, you arrive as the buyer who gets to a credible, well-structured LOI, not the one who stalls before they ever make an offer.
Built especially for buy-side clients: get structured advisory support through a signed LOI, and you get a buyer who's organized, financing-aware, and genuinely ready to transact.
$12,500 Flat — 5-Month Engagement to Signed LOI
$5,000 at engagement, then $2,500/month for the following three months.
A single fixed fee. No success fees, no percentage-of-deal charges, no surprises — just disciplined advisory support priced up front, so our interests stay aligned with your decision-making, not with pushing any single deal across the line.
Designed For
The 5-Month Arc
Month 1 — Readiness & Financing Foundation. Acquisition Readiness Audit and Industry Fit Assessment. Clarify your criteria, capital position, and financing path so your financing posture is understood before a deal is in play — not after.
Month 2 — Target Engagement & Deal Modeling. Engage active opportunities, screen for fit, model deal economics and debt service, and pressure-test purchase price against what is realistically financeable before you commit to an offer.
Month 3 — Deal Structuring & Offer Strategy. Translate the model into an offer strategy: valuation rationale, deal structure, and terms. Prepare you to negotiate from a position of discipline rather than enthusiasm.
Month 4 — LOI & Lender Positioning. Support through the Letter of Intent and preparation to engage lenders as an organized, credible buyer. You engage SBA-preferred lenders directly; we make sure you're ready when you do.
Month 5 — LOI Execution & Diligence Readiness. Finalize and execute a signed LOI, then prepare you for the diligence phase ahead — document expectations, advisor line-up, and a diligence roadmap — so you transition into closing without losing momentum.
What's Included
From LOI to Close
A signed LOI is the milestone — not the finish line. Once you're under LOI, due diligence and closing coordination are available as a focused follow-on through our Due Diligence Project Support (starting at $2,500), scoped to your specific deal. You move from a signed LOI into a disciplined diligence process without skipping a beat.
Ready to Move?
Whether you're a buyer ready to acquire or who needs structure to reach a credible offer, let's talk.
Hands-on support for the buyer, from offer through closing.
Beyond our advisory plans, we offer focused, buyer-side support for the parts of a deal that happen after you've identified a target — representing your interests and keeping the transaction organized and moving. Engagements are scoped to your specific deal and its complexity.
This can include:
Due Diligence Project Support — starting at $2,500 per project. Other scopes are quoted based on the specifics of your transaction.
We represent buyers only — never the seller. Every engagement is built entirely around protecting your interests as the buyer.
