about David Glanville
We help entrepreneurs, operators, and SMB buyers pursue business acquisitions with structure, clarity, and strategic discipline — without the overhead of a full-time corporate development team.
At David Glanville & Company LLC, we serve as a Fractional Acquisition Advisor for serious buyers ready to move from interest to execution. Whether you're buying your first business, building a holding company, or growing through acquisition, we provide the process, disciplined deal judgment, and advisory structure to help you do it smarter.
Most buyers approach acquisitions reactively — browsing listings, waiting on brokers, chasing whatever shows up next. We help clients become proactive by building a repeatable acquisition system from the ground up: defining criteria, mapping target markets, bringing clear-eyed discipline to the opportunities they pursue, modeling deal economics, and preparing them for a credible Letter of Intent.
We work with first-time buyers, acquisition entrepreneurs, independent searchers, holding company founders, independent sponsors, professionals transitioning out of corporate careers, and business brokers seeking a buy-side partner for their clients.
David Glanville's background spans business transactions and commercial real estate.

Coles College of Business, and holds credentials as a Certified Mergers & Acquisitions Professional (CM&AP), Certified Mediator, Licensed Commercial Real Estate Broker, and Accredited Senior Business Broker.
If you're serious about pursuing an acquisition with discipline, we'd welcome a conversation.
