Rural Assets · Funding & Restructuring · Agribusiness M&A

Land, capital and companies:three pillars, one method.

Tellus Brasil structures agribusiness wealth on three fronts: strategic rural assets, funding and debt restructuring, and M&A. Off-market transactions, full due diligence and institutional discretion. Our perspective comes from partners who are, first and foremost, long-time farmers: it was by buying, selling and financing their own land that they came to know the weaknesses of this market from the inside, and decided to do things differently. Tellus does not interpret agribusiness from a distance; it lives within it.

Positioning

Tellus Brasil is a wealth advisory boutique. We analyze land, credit structures, rural debt and agribusiness companies for everything that bears on a transaction: legal, land tenure, production, environmental, subsurface, financial, accounting, reputational and strategic factors.

Who we are

Tellus Brasil knows agribusiness from the inside.

We combine agrarian law, field experience and the financial discipline of international auditing. We have bought, sold and managed our own farms, grown grain, run large-scale forestry operations, audited corporate groups and led major groups in senior executive roles. Our analysis comes from that practice.

We serve domestic and international investors who see Brazilian land as a strategic asset; farmers and agribusiness groups seeking capital or restructuring debt; and companies and families in corporate transactions and succession planning. All of them want advice from people who know the sector through their own experience.

Our methodology

Whether in rural assets, funding and debt restructuring or agribusiness M&A, every Tellus Brasil transaction goes through the same three stages: intelligence, execution and consolidation.

01Intelligence

Full assessment before any decision.

Using a deductive method, we examine the subject of each mandate in full: for rural property, the chain of title, the subsurface and the land tenure, environmental and production status; for fundraising and restructuring, the liabilities, the collateral and the capacity to pay; for companies, the valuation and the corporate, accounting, tax and litigation matters. Compliance and reputation are part of every analysis. Conducted in confidence, the assessment guides the execution stage.

02Execution

Structuring and leading the transaction.

We choose the format that most securely serves the client's thesis: purchase and sale, lease or swap of rural property; CPR, CRA, sale and leaseback and renegotiation of liabilities with banks, funds and creditors, always as the producer's advisors; sale of companies and equity stakes, investor capital or joint ventures. Timelines, conditions and each party's responsibilities are set before signing.

03Consolidation

Follow-through to the last obligation.

After signing, we oversee performance of what was agreed: payment and transfer of possession of the property; the amortization schedule and commitments to creditors; the targets and price adjustments set out in the sale of the company. Mechanisms such as escrow, holdback, earn-out, fiduciary liens, letters of credit and offshore structures provide contractual backing for these obligations, including long-term ones.

Our method

What the three pillars share: rigor at every stage.

01

Thesis and mandate

Every transaction begins with a clear thesis and a formal mandate, with a defined side and confidentiality from the first conversation.

02

Full due diligence

Review of the asset, company or transaction on legal, land title, environmental, productive, financial and reputational grounds.

03

Structuring

Choice of the safest format for the thesis, with instruments, guarantees, conditions and timeline.

04

Closing and follow-through

Signing, registration and monitoring of long-term obligations through completion of the transaction.
