Agricultural equipment covers a broad range of machinery and assets, from tractors and harvesters to irrigation systems and grain storage units. Purchasing these outright often requires a significant commitment of capital, which can place strain on a farming business at a time when that cash could be working elsewhere.
At UK Business Finance, we can arrange finance for the purchase of new or used agricultural equipment, as well as structure refinance agreements for assets your business already owns. Finance terms can be tailored to your specific needs to align with your business's financial position and income profile.
Protect working capital
Committing a large sum to a single equipment purchase can leave a farming business short of the cash it needs for fuel, labour, and other day-to-day costs. Spreading the cost of agricultural equipment across a structured repayment plan means capital stays available for the full range of operational demands, rather than being concentrated in one asset purchase.
Release funds through asset refinance
For businesses that own agricultural equipment outright, refinancing provides a way to release the value tied up in that asset without losing the ability to use it. The asset is sold to the funder and leased back, giving the business access to a lump sum that can be directed towards new purchases, growth investments, or other financial commitments. Ownership transfers back at the end of the agreement once all repayments have been made.
Keep up with advances in farming technology
Agricultural machinery continues to develop, with newer equipment offering improvements in precision, fuel efficiency, and output. Finance gives farming businesses access to up-to-date machinery without the barrier of a large upfront cost, ensuring operations benefit from better technology without placing undue pressure on working capital.
Predictable repayment structure
Finance agreements are built around fixed monthly repayments, which makes forward planning considerably simpler. Knowing exactly what is owed and when means a business can set aside the necessary funds in advance, reducing the risk of unexpected financial pressure during quieter periods in the farming calendar.
Terms built around your business
No two farming businesses are identical, and finance arrangements do not need to be either. The deposit amount and length of repayment term can all be structured to align with the specific financial circumstances of your business, including the income patterns and cost cycles that are common in agriculture.
UK Business Finance operates as a commercial finance broker, giving your business access to an extensive range of lenders who specialise in funding solutions for the agricultural industry. We take the time to understand your situation and match you with the right financial product for your needs.

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.
