Food & Beverage · M&A Advisory FAQ

Common Questions

What is the M&A process for food & beverage companies?
A typical sell-side process for a food & beverage company takes 4–9 months from engagement to closing. We prepare your business for sale, identify and approach qualified buyers, manage the competitive process, negotiate terms, and guide you through due diligence and closing.
What valuation multiples do food & beverage companies typically receive?
Valuation multiples for food & beverage companies vary based on revenue, growth rate, margins, and market conditions. We provide detailed valuation analysis at the start of every engagement so you have realistic expectations before going to market.
How is Peers & Company different from larger investment banks for food & beverage M&A?
Large banks focus on billion-dollar deals. We specialize in the growth-stage middle market ($4M–$100M revenue), where food & beverage founders get senior-level attention from day one and access to buyers they can't reach on their own.
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.
