For more than 40 years we have helped our clients secure finance for their farms, estates and rural development projects. This has released funds for projects, tapped into latent potential and helped to mitigate financial difficulties for land owners, farmers, food businesses and those working in the wider rural sector.

Depending on circumstances, we secure capital in the form of a loan, hire purchase agreement or similar, to buy assets and improve land or buildings. We may also arrange overdraft or business restructuring facilities, to provide working capital.

Funding rural farms, estates and projects to resolve immediate needs and ensure long-term viability

This practical input is shaped by consultancy advice and management guidance, sourced from some 40 members of the farms and estate finance team. Spread across the country, we help everyone from smallholders to large agri-businesses stay solvent and progressive. Our clients also include land-based diversified enterprises, reliant on non-farming income.

By harnessing our combination of knowledge and experience, our clients increase their chances of getting the right financing, on the right terms, just when it is needed most.

We help our clients secure finance from a number of sources, including the main agricultural lenders, private banks, asset finance companies, peer to peer lenders and via brokers.

In addition, our team is also the UK’s largest network of Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (AMC) agents, helping farms, estates and other rural businesses secure flexible and competitive funding. Our experts are happy to discuss the benefits of an AMC loan to help clients choose the right loan options for their requirements.
