What does a food and beverage M&A advisor do?

A food and beverage M&A advisor prepares the valuation story, buyer list, teaser, information memorandum, process timetable, and negotiation strategy for selling an F&B, FMCG, beverage, ingredients, restaurant, or food manufacturing business.

When should an F&B owner use a local broker instead?

A local broker may be better for a small single-site restaurant, cafe, or local hospitality business where the likely buyer is another nearby operator. A regional M&A advisor is more useful when buyer reach can include strategics, private equity, family offices, and cross-border buyers.

How should an F&B owner start a sale process?

Start with a confidential valuation inquiry. Lyndon Advisory reviews revenue, country, sub-sector, buyer relevance, and likely deal size before deciding whether a structured sell-side process is worth pursuing.

Food & Beverage M&A Advisor for F&B Sellers

Food and beverage M&A advisor hub for owners selling F&B, FMCG, restaurant, beverage, and ingredients businesses in Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and Hong Kong.

Where to start

Selling an F&B business is a buyer-universe decision.

A local buyer may be enough for a small single-site restaurant or owner-led hospitality business. Branded food, beverage, FMCG, ingredients, manufacturing, franchise, and multi-site businesses need a wider process when strategic buyers, PE platforms, family offices, Japanese and Korean food groups, or regional ASEAN acquirers could all be credible bidders.
