As appointed AMC (Agricultural Mortgage Corporation) Agents across the southwest, we can help clients secure flexible and highly competitive funding for new businesses, new land purchases, or business restructuring.As agents, we are committed to supporting sustainability in the agricultural sector, and in line with the NFU’s (National Farmers Union) goal of Net Zero by 2040, AMC have launched the Sustainable Agricultural Hub and states that it is “…committed to supporting Britain’s farmers to transition to sustainable business models and operations, and to pursue new clean growth opportunities”. This initiative provides expert resources to farms seeking to develop new clean growth opportunities, demonstrating its commitment to a greener future for agriculture.
Recent changes in the farming industry, such as the Delinked Payment Scheme, have created a need for flexible and competitive support. The Scheme will reduce annual payments to zero by 2027, prompting farmers to seek ways to reduce costs and diversify income streams. We understand these challenges and are here to help you ensure the long-term stability of your business.
Through the Rural Payments Agency, various capital grants are available to help increase productivity and efficiency and enhance the management of land and buildings, benefiting both the environment and your agricultural business.
Our farm and rural finance experts welcome the opportunity to discuss the funding source for your business development. You can find details of the services they offer here, contact them (below) or visit our stand at the Dorset County Show on 7 and 8 September, or the Dairy Show at the Bath & West Showground on 2 October.
