Buy a Business

Buy the Right Business, at the Right Price

We specialize in the sale, purchase and valuation of privately held companies. When you are buying, that means accurate pricing, deal structure that works for you and a process kept quiet until you are ready.

What to Expect From Us as Your Advisor

Security

In many cases buying an existing business is less of a risk than funding a start-up idea.

Not ready to tell the world you are buying? We manage your discretion from the first call.

Dedication

Price is only the first step. Structure matters more, and we build deals that win for you.

Follow-Through

Correct policies and procedures at every step, from NDA to closing.

Accuracy

We help you find an offer price that reflects the market and still competes.

Track Record

We read the market, know the buyers and prices, and weed through the rest on your behalf.

“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.”
Deb Curtis
Buyer
“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.”
Thomas Fisher
Attorney
“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.”
