Agricultural Finance

What is Agricultural Finance?

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.

Am I Eligible for an Agricultural Finance?

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.

How Much Can I Borrow with Agricultural Finance?

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.

How Fast Can I Get Approved & Funded?

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.

What Can Agricultural Finance Be Used For?

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.

What Are the Interest Rates & Terms?

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.

FAQs

Can I use the finance for both livestock and equipment?

Yes. Many lenders allow bundling of livestock and machinery into a single agreement, improving efficiency and budgeting.

Are land improvements eligible for finance?

Yes, provided the investment enhances productivity or sustainability (e.g., fencing, drainage, solar panels, or greenhouses).

Can I repay early after a good season?

Early repayment is usually permitted, often with minimal fees. Some agreements offer interest savings if repaid early.

Is finance available for organic farming operations?

Absolutely. Lenders fund a variety of agricultural methods, including organic, regenerative, and high-tech farming models.

What if my cash flow varies seasonally?

Many lenders provide flexible repayment schedules—such as quarterly or annual payments—matched to your farm’s income cycle.
