ORGANIZATION
SCOPE
Virtual Medical International recognizes that , on a worldwide scope, people
are experiencing mental and physical health issues on an unprecedented
scale, especially in a post-COVID-pandemic world.
They are looking for opportunities to improve their health and nutrition and
trying to find better health and wellness education.
VMI’s core mission is as follows:
• Offer the best natural and organic remedies in the whole health
sector with a focus on Cannabis, CBD, & Hemp.
• Create an environment within our retail locations that
fosters organic, authentic connection between human beings,
complemented by the opportunity to purchase viable natural
products that act as a puzzle piece in the overall picture of whole
health on a broad, scalable basis.
Seed-To-Shelf, VMI’s core product strategy, offers a unified,
affordable platform for its network of partners, acquired companies,
distribution networks, franchise locations, and other aligned national and
global channels to achieve tangible, measurable results in the shared vision
of Whole Health.
• VMI’s confidence is rooted in the availability of existing products
(vitamins, supplements, etc.) in the nutraceuticals market, and is confirmed
by the projected trends that forecast growth from annual sales of $413

ORGANIZATION
SCOPE
billion in 2020 to $723 billion by 2027. This emerging Cannabis sector will
predicts a $69 billion potential market vertical. VMI’s executive leadership
has a solid track record of building organizations, partnerships, and roll-ups
that result in compelling business strategies with multi-disciplanary skill
sets that are capable to execute the business plan..
• During VMI’s first 5 years, our team of passionate dedicated
professionals will acquire, integrate, and align the best brands in the whole
health sector, and plans to distrubute these Whole Health brands by
deploying 740 retail outlets over that same 5-year period.
• The feasibility of deploying, installing, and managing projects on this
scale is made possible by VMI’s plug-and-play system, and doesn’t have
the customary barriers of most retail expansion operations. That
means once a lease is signed, our system minimizes the push-back of
permits and installation, smoothing and optimizing the process. Only three
(3) employees are required to operate most outlets.
• VMI’s consolidated financial projections create a compelling case for
generating around $400 million in revenue with a 25 % EBITDA margins over the
next 5 years.
• To implement this strategy, VMI will raise investment capital and debt to
become a US-listed company by executing a buy-and-build strategy, supported
by our roll-up of the best Direct-to-Consumer brands in the CBD, Hemp, &
Cannabis industries.

In 1983, Chairman and CEO Howard Schultz traveled
to Italy, and returned with the inspiration for what
would become the culture of a “Starbucks on every
corner” and fulfill its founders’ vision of sharing great
coffee with friends and making the world a better
place.
Today, they have over 32,000 stores.
Imagine being given the opportunity to invest in
Starbucks’s IPO in 1992 when they had only 165.
