The 5-Month Accelerated Plan to LOI

When you're ready to move from interested to under contract, this focused, fixed-fee program takes you from a target in sight to a credible, well-structured Letter of Intent — in five disciplined months.

You've done the looking. You've found a business worth pursuing — or you're close. Now everything depends on what happens next: evaluating it honestly, financing it realistically, and structuring an offer that holds up.

This is exactly where most buyers stumble:

• No clear evaluation discipline — falling for the story instead of reading the numbers.
• Financing confusion — unsure of SBA timelines, equity requirements, or what deal size is realistically supportable.
• Offer paralysis — hesitating, lowballing, or structuring a sloppy LOI when it's time to move — and losing the deal or starting off on the wrong foot.

Any one of these can cost you the right business.

David Glanville & Company is a Fractional Acquisition Advisory firm working exclusively buy-side — we represent buyers, never sellers. This focused, fixed-fee program is designed to do one thing: get you, a prepared buyer, to a credible, well-structured Letter of Intent on the business you want.

Over five months, we compress the path from target to signed LOI — bringing disciplined advisory support to every stage, so you reach the negotiating table organized, financing-aware, and genuinely ready to transact.

Month 1 — Readiness & Financing Foundation. Acquisition Readiness Audit and Industry Fit Assessment. We clarify your criteria, capital position, and financing path — so your financing posture is understood up front, not discovered mid-deal.

Month 2 — Target Engagement & Deal Modeling. We help you engage the opportunity, screen for fit, model the deal economics and debt service, and pressure-test the price against what's realistically financeable before you commit to an LOI.

Month 3 — Deal Structuring & Offer Strategy. We translate the model into an offer strategy: valuation rationale, structure, and terms — so you negotiate from discipline, not enthusiasm.

Month 4 — LOI & Lender Positioning. We support you through the Letter of Intent and prepare you to engage lenders as an organized, credible borrower. You work with SBA-preferred lenders directly; we make sure you show up ready.

Month 5 — LOI Execution & Diligence Readiness. We finalize and execute a signed LOI, then prepare you for diligence ahead — document expectations, advisor line-up, and a diligence roadmap — so you transition toward closing without losing momentum.

$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.

• The Acquisition Readiness Suite
• Weekly advisory calls throughout the engagement
• Target screening, deal modeling, and debt-service analysis
• Deal structuring and offer strategy
• LOI support and negotiation guidance
• Financing readiness preparation and lender-positioning support
• Diligence-readiness roadmap to carry you into closing
• Priority communication and dedicated deal tracking

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 losing a step.

The 5-Month Accelerated Plan is one of two paths in our advisory. Every buyer begins with our Acquisition Foundations Engagement — the gateway that defines criteria, maps the market, and clarifies financing. If you already have a target in sight, you move directly into this five-month sprint. If you're still searching, our month-to-month advisory keeps your pipeline disciplined until the right opportunity emerges — then you step into the sprint.

100% buy-side, always. Our advisory work is built entirely around your interests as the buyer — clear-eyed evaluation, honest financing reality, and an offer that serves you.

Prepared buyers reach well-structured LOIs instead of hesitating or stalling. You arrive at the table knowing your numbers, your financing, and your terms — and ready for the diligence that follows.

You pay a flat fee for advisory work, not a commission tied to closing any particular deal. That means our guidance stays honest — including when the right call is to walk away.

From readiness through signed LOI, you always know what stage you're in and what comes next. No guesswork, no drift.
