With increasing frequency agricultural producers are creating alliances with other producers and other participants in the food chain. Example of these alliances include:

• Adding value to commodity products
• Increasing operating and capital efficiency through asset sharing arrangements
• Accessing processor markets
• Accessing technology otherwise not available to individual producers

Lookout Ridge Consulting is often called upon by producers interested in creating these alliances to assist them with:

• Analyzing the financial feasibility of the proposed alliance
• Developing the decision making structure for the alliance
• Developing the ownership structure for the alliance
• Working out the rules for related party transactions
• Creating the profile of the ideal equity participant
• Assisting legal counsel in preparing the equity capital offering
