Agriculture finance enables agri-businesses and farmers to purchase new equipment, navigate seasonal fluctuations, and acquire new space and land.
The seasonal nature of farming and agriculture demands flexible financing solutions that cover equipment and heavy machinery but also help to overcome cash flow issues inherent in this sector.
UK Business Finance can help with the financial needs that businesses in the sector may have. This includes asset finance, restructuring existing agreements, agriculture mortgages, or loans tailored to farming businesses.
The finance team can assist in financing assets including tractors, harvesters, combine harvesters, dairy herds, crop sprayers, and farmland.
Cash flow: Financing new purchases ensures machinery and equipment can be secured while not negatively impacting cash flow. Instead of making a sizeable payment upfront, solutions such as asset finance enable a business to spread the cost over a pre-determined period, enabling more effective cash flow management.
Raise cash through refinancing: Through asset refinance, businesses in the agriculture sector can sell and lease back owned assets to raise capital for a variety of needs. Throughout the finance agreement, you still retain operational use of the asset. At the end of the agreement, you regain ownership of the asset.
Upgrade facilities: Agriculture finance allows businesses to purchase the latest equipment available in the sector. Through acquiring this machinery, agri-businesses can improve efficiency, have access to more reliable technology, and position themselves toward a sustainable future.
Diversify income streams: Agriculture finance options including farm loans can provide the funding to diversify income. Through securing a farm loan, a farm or agri-business can look to develop glamping pods, portacabins, shops selling local produce, as well as sports facilities including padel courts.
Promotes budgeting: Through agriculture finance, it allows farmers and agri-businesses to receive solutions with predictable repayment terms. With set monthly repayments, businesses can plan their outgoings, ensuring they are up to date in when and how much they need to pay toward a finance agreement.
UK Business Finance is a commercial finance broker with access to an extensive panel of lenders, allowing us to source funding solutions that are specifically structured around the demands of agricultural businesses.
Here is how we can help:

With UK Business Finance, you can finance a wide range of different agriculture assets. These include tractors, harvesters, combine harvesters, dairy herds, crop sprayers, and a range of other agriculture equipment.
To apply, you will need to provide a range of documents to verify your business’s financial health. Documents to provide often include your business’s latest financial statements, 6 months of company bank statements, full name, address, DOB and homeownership status of all directors.
The terms and interest rates may depend on multiple factors, including the age and condition of the asset, the amount being financed, the length of the repayment term, your business’ creditworthiness, current market interest rates and the specific finance product chosen.
While specific criteria can vary between lenders, generally, you will need to demonstrate that you are a registered UK business, provide full annual accounts, previous bank statements, plus personal details such as full name, date of birth and personal address.
We can provide solutions including hire purchase agreements, finance leases and asset refinance. As well as this, we can arrange unsecured loans and working capital loans.
To boost your chances of approval, it’s important to maintain a good credit score and keep your financial documents well-organised. Demonstrating stable income and a healthy trading history will be beneficial. Reducing any existing debts can also improve your affordability profile. Additionally, clearly outlining the purpose of the finance and how it will benefit your business can help reassure lenders of your reliability.
