National Produce Enterprise
Financial Consulting (Business Restructuring)
Terra West Group was engaged by a prominent national produce brand seeking strategic financial advisory and analysis services in preparation for their business restructuring plans. Our client specializes in growing, processing, marketing, and distributing premium vegetables and value-added products cultivated in a multitude of regions throughout California, Arizona, and Mexico.
Business Background
Our client's company operated under a single business entity handling the bulk raw produce and the value-added product lines. As the value-added segment continued to grow with success, they recognized the need to continue expanding upon this component of the business to develop a competitive advantage and gain additional market share.
Proposed Objective
Recognizing the need to optimize their operations, improve efficiency, and maximize profitability, they considered splitting the segments into two separate legal operating entities. These divided strategic business units would operate independently from one another, each managing their own product lines, budgets, and strategic planning units.
Strategic Solutions
An economic feasibility assessment, quantitative and qualitative analysis, and identification of benefits/costs associated with client’s growth objectives and transition.
Collaboration with the corporation’s top-level management to formulate a financial strategy and business plan to separate the strategic business units.
Development of a comprehensive financial model and information system incorporating industry performance metrics, enabling the client to measure, evaluate, control, and improve the performance of their business segments.
Presentation of materials for the board of directors, summarizing findings, financial analysis, projections, and recommendations for the proposition under consideration.
