The financing decision
Choose the structure around the operating reality
The central financing decision is where capital enters the value chain and how investors receive protection against crop, commodity, working-capital and execution risk.
We begin with the commercial objective, the amount and timing of capital, the evidence available and the authority to run the transaction. The resulting route can then be tested against realistic investor, lender or buyer criteria.
Typical uses of capital
- Processing capacity and vertical integration
- Storage, cold-chain and logistics infrastructure
