An American company incorporated in 2005 has revolutionized the American meat market, and the food industry, with the sale of USDA certified 100% Grass Fed and Organic Beef. The company provides consumers with a free-range, humanely treated meat product free of antibiotics and hormones.
The company has more than a 16-year presence on the market and has shown a rebound in an industry affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Its customers are large distributors that endorse the quality of the products granting the certification of 100% organic meat, pasture-fed cattle, raised under free grazing and under animal welfare care.

Challenge
This company has invested over $200K to increase its production capacity. Through the acquisition of a processing plant, raw material is received for deboning and packaging products for each of its customers. Currently, around 120,000 pounds per month are processed, with a future goal to process between 3.4 and 3.8 million pounds per month.
By implementing this strategy, the company was able to move away from outsourcing and could achieve a greater operational and financial efficiency. However, this acquisition does not respond to the immediate capital needed to meet its accounts payable, posing a risk to its integrity and its debt capacity.
