Types of Agricultural Asset Finance

Hire Purchase

Hire Purchase enables agricultural businesses to acquire machinery and equipment, spreading repayments over time before full ownership transfers at the end of the term.

Hire Purchase

This option is suitable for farms with at least 2 years' trading history and strong cash flow. Borrowing ranges from £5,000 to £500,000, with terms of 12 to 84 months and interest rates between 5% and 15% APR. Financing tractors, harvesters, and crucial machines, you gain ownership once all payments are made, supporting growth in crop or dairy operations.

Finance Lease

Finance Lease allows businesses to use high-value assets with the option to buy, renew, or return after the agreement, with the asset typically remaining owned by the lender during the lease.

Finance Lease

Eligible agricultural firms with good credit and stable turnover can access £10,000 to £750,000, usually from 24 to 60 months, at 6% to 12% interest. It's ideal for major investments like grain storage units. Payments are made for the use of the equipment, but after the lease, you can purchase, continue leasing, or return the asset via a suitable finance lease structure.

Operating Lease

Operating Lease is suitable for farms needing modern machinery without wishing to purchase outright, often with maintenance included for extra convenience.

Operating Lease

This short-to-medium term finance fits crops, livestock, and poultry businesses needing regular equipment upgrades. Borrowing amounts range from £5,000 to £250,000 for 12 to 48 months, with rates of 5% to 10%. The lender retains asset ownership, and at the end, you simply return the asset or renew the lease, offering flexibility and maintenance support.
