The structure, the strategy, and the operating businesses underneath VDC Management. The agent reads this before answering anything about what VDC does, owns, runs, or is building toward.
VDC Management itself is not a legal entity. Bill described it directly as "phantom" — a working name for a personal partnership agreement between the two owners. The substance of the business sits in the nine LLCs underneath: those are the legal containers that hold the operating companies, the assets, and the contractual relationships.
Two of the nine LLCs are confirmed by name: A New Life Wellness Retreat, LLC and Summer Projects. The remaining seven are not yet documented in this file.
Bill and Peter are running an acquisition-and-modernization thesis. They are not building businesses from scratch. They are buying small operating companies with the right shape and layering technology, AI, and operational discipline on top to compound the value over time.
Peter described the criteria directly:
Businesses that, you know, they've been in business for eight, ten years. They got a solid track record. They got an owner that wants to retire, a staff in place, but they're not updated with the technology. We would look at it more to purchase the business and then layer on the technology on top of it. Peter, Builder Immersion Session
The four criteria that define an acquisition target for VDC:
A New Life Wellness Retreat is the first acquisition that puts the thesis to a real test. Summer Projects is an existing operating business in the portfolio. The seven unnamed LLCs hold the rest of the portfolio in various stages.
A New Life Wellness Retreat is a 9-bed Behavioral Health Residential Facility (BHRF) operating in Phoenix, Arizona. It is the active operating business at the center of the portfolio.
Service. Residential behavioral health care for adults. Clinical authority of record sits with a Lead Behavioral Health Professional (LPC). Day-to-day care is delivered by Behavioral Health Technicians supervised by the Lead BHP. Nursing, therapy, and dietary services are provided by 1099 contractors.
Payer mix. AHCCCS (Arizona's Medicaid program) is the primary payer for residential behavioral health services, alongside private insurance and self-pay. Billing complexity is meaningful and varies by payer.
Regulatory frame. Arizona BHRF licensing is required to operate. AHCCCS enrollment is required to bill Medicaid for covered services. HIPAA applies to all protected health information and any tooling that touches it; a Business Associate Agreement is required with any vendor whose software touches patient data.
Operating model. Bill and Peter are the owners. The day-to-day operating team (Executive Director, Administrator of Operations, Operations Lead) works under a single Management Agreement with the partnership. Clinical professionals (Lead BHP, backup BHP, Nurse, Dietitian) are 1099 contractors. Direct-care staff (BHTs) are employed and supervised through the operating team.

Summer Projects is a rock-delivery business operating in Utah. An established operating business in the portfolio with a smaller team and lower regulatory complexity than A New Life.
Service. Rock delivery to residential and commercial customers. Pricing varies by delivery address; Utah sales tax application changes by location, requiring an address-specific tax calculation at the point of quoting.
Seven of the nine LLCs in the portfolio have not yet been documented here. They appear in conversation under the VDC Management umbrella. Confirmation of names, business activities, and lifecycle stage is an open verification item. The agent should ask Bill or Peter rather than assume.
