Our History

Paine Pacific was founded in 1998 in Portland, Oregon to bring an operational approach in M&A and Business Consulting to the underserved small business markets. Founder Nels Paine’s career started in the small business sector primarily with startups and turnarounds. After managing several successful ventures, and one big failure, he learned how much work it took to operate, grow and build a successful business and in parallel to create a positive return for investors. He also learned that most consulting and M&A firms had no interest in providing services to smaller companies like his which inspired the birth of Paine Pacific. It became clear in the first few years that although most of Paine Pacific’s clients had business and personal objectives, they were unclear about how to reach them or were not in a position to achieve them in their current operational form. Paine Pacific provided these clients with the help they needed to understand what was possible and on what the best course to take was based on their business, market and industry. While this was typically done as part of a transaction objective, over time the business added this as a standalone discipline of Business Consulting, providing operational and strategic advice and implementation of this advice to help clients meet their stated or learned objectives and/or to lead them toward a considered transaction. In both disciplines, Paine Pacific grew its business based on the premise of helping clients achieve their ultimate fiscal and company potential and realize the value in more successful transactions. Over the past 25 years the company has provided these services to over 600 companies in more than 120 different industries around the world and continues on this course today.
