What we do
From strategy to
closing -
and beyond.
We support entrepreneurs, investors, and management teams throughout the entire deal flow — from identifying opportunities to post-deal value creation. Our approach is hands-on, sector-focused, and results-driven.
01
M&A Advisory
Guiding deals
from start to close.
We support entrepreneurs and investors in executing successful transactions — from initial strategic exploration through to closing. Our approach is hands-on and outcome-driven. We start by sharpening strategy and positioning, identify the right buyers or targets, and manage the full process including valuation, negotiation, and structuring.
Through our deep sector focus, we understand where value is created in food & agri — and how to maximise it. Whether you are selling, acquiring, or exploring options, FRBA acts as a true deal partner from day one.
- Sell-side processes — preparing and executing the sale of companies for optimal value and terms
- Buy-side acquisitions — identifying, approaching, and acquiring strategic and financial targets
- Valuation and deal positioning — independent, sector-informed valuations and positioning strategies
- Negotiation and transaction structuring — leading negotiations and structuring deals for all parties
- Investor readiness — preparing companies and founders for a successful transaction process
- Post-merger integration support — ensuring smooth transitions after deal completion
02
Management Buy-In / Buy-Out
The right people,
the right structure.
We support management teams and investors in executing MBI and MBO transactions. This requires more than financing — it requires aligning the right people, structure, and strategy. FRBA brings together its deal expertise, sector knowledge, and investor network to make these complex transactions happen efficiently.
Whether you are a manager looking to acquire a business or an investor seeking a strong management team, FRBA connects the right parties and guides the process from identification to closing.
- Identifying and evaluating suitable acquisition targets in the food & agri sector
- Building and assessing strong management teams for buy-in transactions
- Transaction structuring in collaboration with investors and financiers
- Connecting capital, management talent, and deal opportunities through our network
- Negotiation support and deal execution from LOI through to closing
- Post-transaction onboarding and value creation planning
03
Interim & Value Creation
Guiding deals
from start to close.
We provide interim senior expertise to improve performance and create value — often in preparation for a transaction. Our interim professionals work hands-on within organisations, delivering direct and measurable impact from day one.
This service is particularly valuable when a company needs experienced leadership during a transition period, when preparing for sale, or when a specific operational challenge requires a focused senior resource without the commitment of a permanent hire.
- Sell-side processes — preparing and executing the sale of companies for optimal value and terms
- Buy-side acquisitions — identifying, approaching, and acquiring strategic and financial targets
- Valuation and deal positioning — independent, sector-informed valuations and positioning strategies
- Negotiation and transaction structuring — leading negotiations and structuring deals for all parties
- Investor readiness — preparing companies and founders for a successful transaction process
- Post-merger integration support — ensuring smooth transitions after deal completion
04
Financial, Strategic & Legal Advisory
Insight, structure,
and direction.
We advise companies and investors on key strategic, financial, and legal decisions. Whether it concerns valuation, growth strategy, or exit preparation, FRBA provides clear, pragmatic, and well-founded advice — focused on results rather than theoretical frameworks
Our advisory work is grounded in real sector experience. We have been on the other side of the table as entrepreneurs, executives, and investors — which means our advice is practical, direct, and built on a deep understanding of how food & agri businesses actually operate and create value.
- Valuation advisory — independent, sector-specific business valuations for various purposes
- Growth strategy — developing actionable plans for organic and acquisitive growth
- Exit preparation — positioning companies for optimal outcomes in a sale process
- Investor readiness — preparing businesses for fundraising, investment, or ownership change
- Strategic scenario planning — evaluating options and supporting critical business decisions
- Legal structuring guidance — navigating deal structures, terms, and transaction frameworks
How we work
Our approach to
every mandate
i
Senior-led from day one
Every mandate is led directly by a senior FRBA partner. No handoff to junior teams. The person you meet is the person who does the work — throughout the entire process.
ii
Deep sector knowledge
Our work is exclusive to food & agri. We know the buyers, the sellers, the investors, and the market dynamics. This focus means faster, better, and more connected deal execution.
iii
Results, not hours
We are focused on outcomes. Our success is tied to your success. We work with urgency and efficiency — not to maximise billable time, but to deliver the result you need.
