Read MoreWe leverage deep operational and real estate expertise to restructure and turnaround distressed agribusinesses—from independent growers, processors, and distributors to large, vertically-integrated companies.
Our experts deliver comprehensive bankruptcy, receivership, financial advisory, turnaround management, and other fiduciary services to stabilize agribusiness operations, resolve financial distress, and maximize value for stakeholders through court-mandated and out-of-court strategic restructurings and asset sales.
Successful turnarounds in the agribusiness industry require multifaceted operational skills and knowledge, from seed to table, spanning working capital management; agricultural technology and equipment; crop planting, processing, distribution, and logistics; contract negotiations; real estate management and valuation; and environmental and regulatory compliance.
We provide a single-source solution for distressed farming operations, processors, distributors, and their creditors and shareholders. Our team of agribusiness turnaround experts identifies and resolves operational inefficiencies; negotiates with lenders and creditors; and implements financial restructurings, asset dispositions, and going-concern sales. By right-sizing operations, we stabilize the business for long-term growth for the benefit of shareholders and maximize the recovery for creditors.
We provide comprehensive turnaround solutions for distressed farms, dairies, vineyards, row crops, orchards, food processors, and distributors for the benefit of all stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, lenders, and creditors.
Our team of agribusiness turnaround experts rapidly stabilizes operations on-site, mitigates financial losses, and protects asset values. We conduct detailed profitability and cash flow analyses for all parties involved to assess liquidity and solvency and guide restructuring strategies, then develop and implement actionable plans to address capital needs, operational inefficiencies, environmental and regulatory compliance issues, and optimize underutilized assets.
We work closely with legal counsel to resolve disputes among shareholders, creditors, tenants, and vendors. From debt restructuring and refinancing to asset dispositions and going-concern sales, we strive to preserve enterprise value and maximize the recovery for all stakeholders.
Our multidisciplinary team of financial advisors, receivers, plan administrators, CROs, and interim CEOs and CFOs blends financial, operational, environmental, legal, and technical expertise to deliver operational and performance improvement strategies for stakeholders of distressed agriculture and agribusiness companies.
Our operational and performance improvement strategies are led by experienced business leaders, operational experts, and supply chain specialists who work to stabilize and optimize the day-to-day functions of struggling businesses. To address financial and contractual challenges, we draw on the expertise of our Certified Insolvency and Restructuring Advisors, Certified Turnaround Professionals, Certified Public Accountants, commercial real estate specialists, and financial forensics experts to conduct rigorous financial analyses, detect fraud, negotiate contracts, and implement restructuring strategies. Our valuation and appraisal teams provide defensible assessments of business and asset values, and our technical professionals—including EHS, ESG, sustainability, and agricultural equipment experts—ensure compliance, risk mitigation, and operational continuity.
