Agribusiness Investment Services

Agribusiness investment services

If you run a successful agribusiness, at some point there is a chance you may want to expand by attracting equity capital rather than bank debt. Given the importance of the agriculture sector within the Australian economy, this is a strategy many business owners are working toward.

How BDO can help

An integral part of driving investment within the agricultural sector is ensuring you identify suitable projects and making sure these projects are investment-ready. If you’re seeking investors for your project – or alternatively if you are an investor considering investing in Australian agribusiness - BDO can help you:

  • Identify suitable food and agribusiness targets and/or investees
  • Develop business plans, cash flow modelling and information memorandums
