First Conversation
A direct, confidential call. No NDA required for the first meeting. We listen before we ask. We want to understand what you built and what a good outcome looks like before anyone talks about price.
Five steps. Ninety days. One clean close.
Indication of Interest
If there is a fit, we send a short, specific letter within two weeks. Range of value, structure options, the outcomes we think are achievable. Not a term sheet yet — a serious indication that lets you decide whether to keep going.
Term Sheet
When we send a term sheet, it is the term sheet we intend to close on. No anchoring high to retrade later. No moving pieces. The economics and structure on the page are what we sign.
Diligence
We run financial, commercial, and operational diligence with a small team and a short list of trusted outside partners. One point of contact. Clear requests. No contact with your customers, employees, or vendors without your explicit approval.
Close and Beyond
We close when we say we will. And we’re there the next day the same way we showed up on day one — as owners with skin in the game, not buyers who have moved on to the next deal.
The Ninety-Day Clock
90days
Ninety days from first serious conversation to close. Not a guideline. The plan.
Most lower middle market processes take six to nine months. Ours take ninety days because the preparation is done before the conversation starts.
We know our financing. We know our diligence team. We know the structures we can offer. What takes other buyers six months is what we have already built.
A Closer Look
The kind of business we are built to acquire.
The Strategy page shows where we invest and what we look for. The section below shows what actually earns our attention within that filter.
History
At least five years.
Customers who keep coming back. A local reputation that didn’t require advertising to build.
Ownership Transition
Rollover or full exit — we structure for either.
We are especially drawn to owners who want to step back gradually rather than disappear on closing day. Rollover equity, consulting arrangements, full exits, or anything in between.
Fit Over Fairway
A great business in an adjacent sector beats a mediocre one in our wheelhouse.
The three sectors describe where we find quality most consistently. They do not describe where we stop looking.
Advisors & Capital Partners
The people standing behind the firm.
Viridian Pacific raises capital deal-by-deal from a small group of committed co-investors and works with a short list of trusted operating advisors and transaction partners. We will name portfolio companies here after our first close. Until then, this is who stands behind the platform.
Capital Partners
A closed group of co-investors.
Viridian Pacific is backed by a small group of committed limited partners who underwrite each transaction alongside the firm. Names disclosed under NDA to serious sellers and their advisors.
Operating Advisors
Senior operators across our target sectors.
We work with a network of senior operators — former owners and executives in business services, healthcare, and specialty manufacturing — who advise on diligence and support portfolio companies post-close.
Transaction Partners
The short list.
Quality of earnings, legal, tax, and lender relationships are established before the first conversation with a seller — not assembled after a term sheet. This is what lets us hold a ninety-day timeline without cutting corners on work that matters.
