Confidential Consultation | Virginia Business Broker

What We Cover

A Conversation Worth Having

Most business owners spend more time thinking about a sale than acting on it — because they don't have a trusted advisor who can speak plainly about what their business is worth, who would buy it, and how the process actually works.

This consultation is that conversation. It's confidential, candid, and tailored to your situation — not a pitch, not a template.

For Business Owners Considering a Sale

A realistic read on current market value and buyer demand

An honest assessment of what's working for you — and what a buyer would flag

Guidance on timing, preparation, and what to do before going to market

A clear sense of what the brokerage process looks like from engagement to close

For Buyers and Acquirers

A discussion of your acquisition criteria and capital structure

Current deal flow across service, manufacturing, and retail sectors

Perspective on valuation, diligence expectations, and realistic timelines

Guidance on what it takes to be positioned as a credible, preferred buyer

What Others Say

Owners and Buyers Who Started With a Conversation

"I went into the conversation not sure if I was ready to sell. Forty minutes later I had a real framework — what my company was worth, who would buy it, and what I should do first. That clarity was worth everything."

Michael T.

Manufacturing Company Owner, Richmond

"As a first-time buyer I had no idea what to expect. Charles helped me understand what to look for, what questions to ask, and how to position myself as a serious acquirer. It changed how I approached everything."

Sarah K.

Individual Buyer, Northern Virginia

"I'd been thinking about selling for three years and never talked to anyone. One call with Charles and I finally had a real plan. We closed nine months later. I wish I'd made that call sooner."

David P.

Commercial Services Owner, Hampton Roads

Common Questions

Before You Schedule

Yes — completely. There's no charge for the initial consultation and no obligation to engage us afterward. Our goal is to have a genuinely useful conversation. If it makes sense to work together, that discussion happens separately and on your timeline.

Entirely. Nothing you share in this consultation is disclosed to anyone — not your employees, customers, competitors, or lenders. Confidentiality is the foundation of everything we do. Many owners explore a sale for 12–18 months before anyone around them knows. We support that entirely.

Charles Daucourt personally — not a junior associate, not an assistant, not a call center. If you submit this form, you get Charles on the phone. He's conducted every transaction at SellMyBizVA and will be the one handling your engagement if you choose to proceed.

That's one of the best times to have this conversation. Owners who engage two or three years before they plan to sell are almost always better positioned when they go to market — because they've had time to address the things that affect value. Early conversations lead to better outcomes.

Yes. We work with individual buyers, search funds, and strategic acquirers. If you're looking for acquisition opportunities in Virginia — or want to understand deal flow, pricing, and process — this is a useful conversation. We maintain relationships with owners who aren't publicly listed, and qualified buyers are always top of mind.
