Richmond’s Five-Star Business Broker
Our home market. Business valuations, confidential sales and M&A for Richmond-area companies of every size, from our office in Glen Allen.
Richmond Business Brokers
We have more than 40 years of business experience in the analysis and valuation of Richmond-area companies of all sizes, and more than 100 five-star Google reviews from Richmond sellers, buyers, lenders, CPAs and attorneys.
Richmond's business community is large enough to attract national acquirers and small enough that reputations travel. That is why our most recent published sale, an $11 million residential HVAC company, went to a national platform through a confidential, targeted process, with all 30 employees retained.

When you need more expertise around the table, we recommend M&A attorneys, CPAs, financial advisors and exit planners.

What Our Clients Say
More than 100 five-star Google reviews from sellers, buyers, lenders, CPAs and attorneys.
“I have worked with many Business Brokers over the years. Dan Daniel with RVA Business Brokers brings an entirely different passion in supporting small business owners looking to successfully sell. On the flip side, any interested buyers of his listings he will do all he can to educate & help them understand all the options to make the change of ownership a successful one. Working with Dan is not just a transaction; he becomes your mentor, and a trusted professional business advisor every step of the way to a successful funding.”
“Dan is extremely professional. He takes the time to completely understand his clients needs, and wants, and the true value in the business of his clients. His integrity was very apparent from the start of our communication which in the business brokerage world is hard to find. I wouldn’t think of working with anyone else in the future.”
“I worked with Dan on about half a dozen transactions. All of them presented some unusual issues but Dan was able to get each one closed in short order. Dan will do whatever it takes to get it done. A definite five-star recommendation.”
