Overview

Equity & Debt Capital for Food & Beverage

Not every food & beverage company fits the revenue-based financing model, and not every situation calls for a full equity round. Peers & Company structures bespoke capital solutions — combining senior debt, mezzanine financing, and equity — to optimize your capital stack for growth, acquisitions, or recapitalization. We access our global network of family offices, private equity, and institutional lenders to source the right capital for your situation.

How It Works

Our Process

We start by understanding your food & beverage business, growth objectives, and capital needs. Then we design the optimal capital structure — whether that's a mezzanine tranche to fund an acquisition, a growth equity raise from a strategic family office, or a senior debt facility to replace expensive capital. We manage the entire process from term sheet to close.

Food & Beverage · Equity & Debt Capital FAQ

Common Questions

What types of capital are available for food & beverage companies?
Food & Beverage companies with $4M–$100M in revenue can access revenue-based financing (non-dilutive), mezzanine financing (hybrid debt/equity), growth equity (from family offices and PE), and senior debt. The right structure depends on your growth objectives, capital needs, and dilution tolerance.
When does mezzanine financing make sense for a food & beverage company?
Mezzanine financing is typically the right choice when senior debt capacity is exhausted but a full equity round would be too dilutive. It's commonly used for acquisition financing, management buyouts, and growth capital in the food & beverage sector.
How long does a capital raise take for a food & beverage company?
Timeline varies by capital type. Revenue-based financing closes in weeks. Mezzanine and growth equity raises typically take 2–4 months from engagement to close, depending on deal complexity and investor due diligence requirements.
Do you work with CPG brands that sell through distributors?
Yes. We work with brands across all channels — DTC, retail, foodservice, and distributor-led. We underwrite on total revenue and growth trajectory, not channel mix.
