Hundred Million Dollar Deals in Australian Agribusiness Industry
When a key agribusiness client of Bentleys saw an opportunity to divest landholding and take advantage of the strong investment demand for Australian beef assets, the task of preparing for sale and finding a buyer was almost too overwhelming.
But following an in-depth meeting with their team of Bentleys agribusiness experts, the path ahead was mapped out to provide them with the information, and the understanding, that they needed to chart their course. Bentleys were able to assist with commercial, practical advice on how to prepare for sale, meet potential investors, collate and present the necessary business information, negotiate with buyers, and close the deal.
This assistance was pivotal in achieving a successful transaction, and the several hundred million dollar deal was completed. This engagement represented a landmark event for Australian agriculture.
