Asset finance is designed to help farmers secure funds for acquiring essential business assets, such as vehicles, machinery, and equipment, without having to pay the full price upfront. We’ll help you spread these costs across monthly agricultural loan repayments, so you can ensure your cash flow remains free for other aspects of your business without sacrificing your growth goals.
The agricultural industry is both highly seasonal and very capital-intensive. This means revenue can significantly fluctuate between months, especially in farming.
Taking advantage of agricultural finance solutions allows farmers to tackle these economic challenges without compromising their business capital. That way, they have the freedom and security to invest in innovative technology, which will allow them to keep up with competitors.

This is a finance option suitable for agricultural businesses looking to purchase and own equipment, but want to spread the cost into regular payments rather than paying upfront.
We offer two types of leasing for agriculture: finance lease and operating lease.
For your existing assets, we also offer refinancing to release equity and to produce an injection of cash that can be used to fund a variety of activities.
One of the most prominent advantages is, of course, the improved cash flow – when you split the cost of new equipment over monthly payments, you’re keeping more of your working capital for other business needs – whether that’s seeds and fertilisers, animal feed, or even operational expenses such as staff wages.
By investing in advanced technology, you’ll also be gaining a competitive advantage thanks to the improvements in efficiency and productivity the new equipment will bring. Take upgrading to a GPS-enabled combine harvester, for instance – by making the switch, you’ll be saving on both labour and fuel.
Repayments made to farm loans also may be something business owners can claim back, providing an added level of tax efficiency, and bringing down the bottom line cost of the assets you’re investing in. Plus, with a finance lease, you have the flexibility to level up your technology every time you renew for a new term.

With hire purchase, we purchase the asset on your behalf and create a tailored repayment plan to suit your budget. At the end of the agreed term, you can choose to take ownership of the asset for a nominal fee.
Farmers choose the equipment they want, negotiate the sale, and sign a hire purchase agreement. The cost is then spread out over a set period of time.
Finance lease has a primary term with fixed rentals. At the end of the primary period, you can:
An operating lease is a lease with fixed rentals that reflect a predicted future residual value. This is an amount that customers won’t pay, which means, rentals are reduced.
We take the residual risk and will sell the asset at the end of the agreement to recover this unpaid amount, protecting you from any potential loss. This transfer of risk may allow you to treat the asset as off the balance sheet, which may give improvements on key accounting ratios.
At the end of the primary period, the asset is returned to the lender.
Refinance is designed to produce an injection of cash that can be used to fund a variety of activities by using certain existing assets as collateral.
Refinancing is typically suitable if:
