Farm Loans and Agricultural Finance

Farm loans sit within the wider agricultural finance landscape and are typically used to provide funding for the day-to-day and ongoing requirements of farming businesses and rural enterprises.

Unlike property-based lending, farm loans are generally structured around the underlying business, including cashflow, income and trading performance, rather than solely on assets such as land or buildings.

They may be used for a wide range of purposes, including working capital, seasonal funding, operational costs and business expansion, depending on the needs of the farm.

Farm loans often sit alongside other forms of agricultural finance. For example, longer-term borrowing for property may be arranged through farm mortgages or agricultural mortgages, while shorter-term requirements or transitional funding needs may involve bridging finance.
