Agriculture and farming business finance

Farms, growers, agri-tech operators. Specialist lenders dominate; mainstream lenders less comfortable with farm-cycle cashflow.

Cash-flow shape

Annual harvest cycle. Subsidy timing variable post-Brexit (BPS / SFI). Long capex cycles on land and equipment.

Products that fit

  • Asset finance for plant and machinery
  • Commercial mortgage for farmland
  • Bridging for harvest-cycle gaps
  • Working-capital loans against subsidies

Lenders we route to

  • Specialist agri lenders (Oxbury Bank, Hampshire Trust)
  • Allica Bank for asset and commercial mortgage
  • Specialist construction asset-finance for shared equipment

Typical decline reasons in this sector

  • Sole-trade or partnership structure (most farms are not Ltd)
  • Single-crop concentration
  • Land-valuation disputes
