Frequently Asked Questions
Industrial Gas Acquisition FAQ
Do you only buy perfect businesses?
No. Virtair is often interested in businesses with clear operational upside, including companies that would benefit from investment in systems, compliance, route density, fleet, cylinders, fill operations, or sales coverage.
Will you keep existing employees?
We value experienced teams and prioritize continuity where feasible, subject to role needs, local requirements, and the specifics of the business.
How fast can you move?
Timing depends on complexity and information availability, but we aim to run an efficient process with clear milestones, practical diligence, and direct communication.
What if I am not ready to sell yet?
We are happy to talk early. Sometimes a 12 to 24 month plan, phased transition, deferred close, rollover structure, or partnership discussion fits best.
Can the owner stay involved?
Yes. Structures can include full exits, rollover equity, consulting periods, phased succession, or continued operating roles.
Do you buy real estate too?
Yes, where appropriate. We can evaluate the operating company and real estate together or separately.
