Lower Middle Market · Southern California
Investing in the businesses
that built Southern California.
Viridian Pacific is a private investment firm based in El Segundo, California. We acquire family and founder-owned businesses in the lower middle market — the kind built over years, one customer at a time — and we carry that forward, with care for the people inside and the name above the door.
Most buyers ask what a business is worth. We ask what it deserves.

What We Commit To
Three promises we hold ourselves to.
Ninety days is the plan.
From the first serious conversation to a signed transaction, our default pace is ninety days. We do the work upfront — financing, diligence partners, structure — so the timeline is a commitment, not a hope.
We don’t manufacture diligence issues.
The term sheet we send is the term sheet we intend to close on. If diligence surfaces something genuinely material, we’ll tell you immediately and honestly — not save it for the eleventh hour to move price.
How We Hold It
We buy businesses to run them. Not to strip them, relocate them, or exit them on someone else’s clock.
For Intermediaries
How we run a banker-led process.
We bring the same principles to intermediated deals as to proprietary ones: prepared, decisive, and honest about fit.
One Point of Contact
Porter runs every deal.
No associates routing your calls. No staffing changes mid-process. The person you meet is the person who signs.
Clean IOIs
Specific, not aspirational.
Our indications of interest reflect what we are actually prepared to pay and close on — not a high anchor designed to win a second round and retrade later.
Respect for the Process
We show up prepared and on time.
We honor the timelines and rules of your process. If we cannot meet them, we decline early rather than dragging the seller through a partial effort.
Where We Invest
The industries Southern California actually runs on.
Founder-owned businesses that quietly power Southern California. Regulated. Recurring. Resilient through cycles. The businesses that keep showing up without needing to advertise.
Business & Commercial Services
Outsourced, mission-critical services with recurring revenue and embedded customer relationships — from professional services (compliance, engineering, specialty B2B) to route-based and facility services (landscaping, pest control, janitorial, HVAC, and other recurring field services). Serving commercial, industrial, healthcare, and government customers across Southern California.
Healthcare Services
Provider and ancillary healthcare services in non-discretionary care settings. Including pharmacies, long-term and post-acute care, behavioral health, and other segments serving patients who cannot defer treatment.
Manufacturing & Industrial
Niche and advanced manufacturers with specialized capabilities or engineered products — including Tier II and Tier III suppliers to aerospace, defense, and other regulated end-markets. We focus on businesses where technical depth, quality, and lead time matter more than price.
