Kent Group provides a wide range of investment banking and financial advisory services to all facets of the agribusiness, food and related industries. Our core focus is providing divestiture advisory services to privately held companies and subsidiaries of large publicly traded companies to financial and strategic buyers.

We work exclusively with agribusiness, food and related companies. Kent Group has the highest level of industry knowledge and most successful track record of investment banking firms serving clients in this specialized market. This specific market focus coupled with the following unique attributes is fundamental to our position as the leading advisor in these industries:

• An exceptional database which contains non-public information on over 22,000 high level executives in the food, agribusiness, and private equity business sectors. The information collected on these potential strategic and financial investors includes contact information, what types of transactions they are looking for and their ability to close a transaction.

• EVA® software, a state-of-the-art financial analytical tool typically used by large Wall Street firms. Utilizing this tool ensures our clients maximize the value of their businesses.

• A broad knowledge base allowing us to “get up to speed” on a client’s assignment very quickly.

• A well-known and respected name in our niche industry which allows us to focus on and communicate with the decision makers and owners of the companies we target. Kent Group has already done the networking for our clients and formed relationships with senior executives in our niche industries.

• A well-developed and proven two-step offering process that maintains a competitive atmosphere amongst multiple bidders. This process prevents a “one-off” deal, thus ensuring our client is kept on the offensive and maximizing value and deal structure.
