The farms about to borrow for new houses and kit.

A new or larger livestock unit is one of the biggest sums a farm spends, and most of it is borrowed or leased: houses, equipment, sometimes the land. The permit application is public months before the money is drawn, and it says which company is growing.

asset finance, agricultural lending and insurance for farm expansion

What an agricultural lender sees on the card.

Farm expansion is mostly borrowed money, and the permit application comes before any of it is drawn. The card puts the application beside the company's filed accounts and the charges already registered, so a lender can tell a ticket from a stretch before the first call.

The size of the market first, without names: New UK pig and poultry units, counted weekly on CapexRadar, the engine behind Stanfell.

  1. The company's filed accounts in a line: employees, equity, cash, working capital.
  2. Who already lends to it, from the charges on record, and when they were registered.
  3. Whether the unit is new, which means houses and equipment to fund, or already built.

Who lends to and advises growing farms.

  • Agricultural lenders and banks
  • Asset finance and leasing brokers
  • Farm insurance brokers
  • Grant and funding advisers
  • Accountants to farming companies

Agricultural finance leads: your questions.

Do you show personal details of farmers?
No. Cards are about companies only. A farm held by a person rather than a company is not published.
How current are the accounts?
The latest filed, with the date they run to on the card, so you can see how old they are before you rely on them.

If this is what you sell, this is your category.

You sell asset finance, agricultural lending and insurance for farm expansion. Choose “Finance and insurance” when you sign in and every card you are shown is read for that trade.
