What is Agriculture Finance? 

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.

Benefits of Agriculture Finance

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.
