Aggressive Price
We work with the business owner to ascertain a fair market valuation. We do not justify higher valuations with short-term cost cutting or strategies that detract from your company's mission.
Speed
Danville Capital will move quickly to close. We understand the value of your time, and we know how to identify and quickly resolve issues that inevitably arise when considering a change of ownership.
Capital
Our team is very well capitalized. You can be confident that we will not delay the deal to search for equity or walk away because we can't draw on our commitments. Our negotiations are made with clear and actionable intentions ensuring that we can deliver.
Flexibility
Danville Capital is not a conventional private equity firm and does not operate like one. We have the mechanisms and creative control to meet your unique ambitions, lifestyle, and estate planning needs, which means we can offer flexible solutions to the business owner seeking an optimal exit opportunity.
Dependability
You will speak directly with Danville Capital's principal, rather than with a bureaucratic investment committee. We are relatable and trustworthy, and we understand the sensitivity surrounding employees, customers, and business partners. We will therefore conduct a quick and confidential diligence process in an honest and transparent partnership with you.
Legacy
Nothing pleases us more than finding a driven entrepreneur with a great business, and we therefore intend to honor, preserve, and enhance the business, employees, and customers you have so carefully nurtured.
