Acquisition Strategy

Target Profile

Business type

Technology services, business process, or professional services businesses with demonstrated delivery capacity and an existing client base.

Domicile

Latin America. Primary markets include Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru, and Argentina — any geography with demonstrated or achievable access to U.S. enterprise clients.

Revenue

Businesses with recurring or retainer-based revenue, limited customer concentration, and at least partial existing USD exposure or a clear path to it.

Stage

Established and operating, not pre-revenue. The platform's value is commercial repositioning and capital, not early-stage business building.

The Redenomination Mechanic

Most LatAm-domiciled services businesses serve local or regional buyers, invoicing in local currency at local market rates. U.S. enterprise buyers represent a higher-value, more durable revenue profile at structurally better contract terms, and demand for nearshore delivery has grown consistently.

The move from local revenue to U.S. enterprise contracts is not a product change. It is a commercial repositioning that requires relationships, legal infrastructure, credibility with U.S. buyers, and operational patience. These are what the Cleanlight platform provides. The underlying business — its people, delivery capacity, and operating model — is preserved and repositioned, not rebuilt.

Value Creation Post-Acquisition

Commercial repositioning

Structuring and activating U.S. client relationships: positioning, legal contracting, and pricing infrastructure built to access and retain enterprise buyers.

Operational integration

Standardizing financial reporting, compliance, and governance to U.S. expectations. This is table stakes for U.S. client due diligence and for eventual sale or recapitalization.

Capital structure

The U.S. Delaware holding structure provides clean ownership, simplified cross-border mechanics, and appropriate legal footing for U.S. counterparties. It removes a friction point that commonly stalls LatAm-to-U.S. commercial relationships.

Current Stage

Cleanlight is actively evaluating and structuring initial acquisitions. The platform is built around a specific thesis, not a generalist search mandate, and every step of the sourcing and diligence process reflects that.
