Successful agri-businesses never stay static. To meet the demands of our fast paced world, agri-business owners and managers need to be continually innovating to meet customer demand, develop new markets, produce new product and keep up with the latest research, all the while ensuring that the businesses fundamentals are sound.
Without new equity based investment it is often difficult to achieve your company’s strategic objectives Kauri looks to invest for the long term in successful agri-businesses in order to fund growth. We will partner with you as both shareholders and directors to help unlock the potential of your business.
We bring a team of people with the experience to help you drive the business forward, from breaking into new markets, launching new or improved products, to making vertical or horizontal acquisitions we have a management team that has a clear view of the value chain from producer to customer.
With Kauri as your strategic and financial partner you will have a team behind you 24/7 that are as committed and passionate about growing the business as you are.
Succession Planning
As a successful business owner succession planning is something you know you need to think about. However it is not always easy to determine the best way forward especially when you consider your family’s needs, your employees wellbeing and what is best for your business.
Selling to a competitor is not always the best answer, as it can potentially expose your intellectual property under due diligence to your competition without a guarantee that the sale will proceed. Often a competitor will seek to reduce costs and centralise management therefore placing your workforce at risk of redundancy. In addition to trade risk there are other considerations.
What should I do with my money and my time? Am I able to take some cash off the table but still retain a shareholding? How can I provide a financial legacy for my family without burdening my business with significant levels of debt?
At Kauri our business team is focussed on providing you with solutions that allow you to fully or partially exit your business while securing its long term future. We specialise in private equity for agri-business and have a clear view of the value chain.
We have deep links into the primary sector and are able to discuss with you ways in which we believe we can add value over time. We view succession planning and ownership change as an exciting time, an opportunity for business owners and their families to map out a new direction and provide a legacy for the future.
