Agricultural Finance offers funding to UK-based farming and agribusinesses for machinery, equipment, livestock, or land improvement. Designed for limited companies and commercial farms, this finance helps support modernisation, growth, and productivity improvements in a seasonal industry.
Agricultural Finance is available to registered UK agribusinesses with a stable income and a trading history of at least 12 months. Seasonal revenue patterns are taken into account, and financial viability must be demonstrated through records or forecasts.
You can typically borrow between £10,000 and £750,000 depending on your farm size, asset value, and repayment ability. Funding for specialised agricultural assets or projects may qualify for higher amounts.
Initial decisions are often made within a week. More complex applications (e.g., involving land or infrastructure) may take longer. Funds are generally released within 5 to 10 working days after approval.
It can be used for tractors, combines, irrigation systems, livestock purchases, barns, or renewable installations like solar. Some lenders also support seasonal cash flow lending or subsidies bridging.
Rates typically range from 4.5% to 11%, depending on term length and asset type. Terms are flexible, often 1 to 10 years, and may include seasonal repayment structures aligned with harvest cycles.
