Food Business Consultancy
Although at Corporate Mergers, our business is primarily centred on Mergers and Acquisitions, we are also called upon to advise businesses on a variety of matters due to our experience in a wide range of food businesses.
Corporate Mergers' food business consultancy services can typically include the following disciplines:
Presale planning
Very often it can be beneficial to work with a client prior to the sale process commencing. Getting the Business in top shape prior to a sale can ease the Due Diligence process; can provide the time to arrange its tax affairs and generally ensure that the Business is in the best possible shape.
Competitive benchmarking and adopting best practices
As a result of our extensive connections with many food businesses, we are able to assist a client compare their business with others within their sector. We share best practice methods and work to identify areas of profit improvement.
Sales and marketing consultancy and strategy
Occasionally, we are asked to assist a client to undertake Sales and Marketing consultancy projects, given our extensive experience in two main sub-sectors of the food industry – Meat Processing and Ingredients.
Fundraising projects and assistance with re-banking and asset finance, etc.
We are happy to work with clients who are looking for new relationship managers or for sources of commercial finance and funding. We possess an extensive network of contacts within the Banking community. We do not however, undertake detailed financial modelling, cash flow projections etc. preferring to leave this to the clients’ accountants or other fundraising specialists we work with.
Corporate Mergers helped and guided myself and fellow Directors through the sale of our company. They took us through the mundane hours of presentations to show us in our best but honest light, into areas of accountancy with words and ways of operating you have possibly never heard of. We filled in pages of detail about our company, wrote up warranties and guarantees that you would never believe possible. Does it all sound too heavy? Well it is, and it will be hard work and take many meetings until that wonderful time when it will all come to fruition. You will have realised your dreams and Corporate Mergers will have taken you there, acting in your best interests at all times but always mindful that the whole world will see at some time how professionally the sale was executed.
