About
Finance for Agriculture is an FCA registered, Agricultural Finance Brokerage supporting UK farmers and rural businesses to access competitive finance
About Finance for Agriculture
Finance for Agriculture is genuinely independent, wholly impartial and offers straightforward honest advice, given freely and without obligation. With over 300 UK-based lenders we are committed to helping our farming and rural clients in any way we can.
One of the best ways we can do this is by ensuring a wide choice of lenders, creating as wide a range of potential options as possible for our clients and maximising the chances of successfully raising the money that you need.
Time and again we prove to our clients that we can secure funding where others fail and in the majority of cases our advice and support will save you significant amounts of money over the course of the loan.
The vast majority of specialist lenders in the current marketplace only accept qualified and packaged applications from Specialist Brokers who are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority such as ourselves.
