Working Capital & Seasonal Cash Flow Support
Seasonal peaks and troughs are normal in farming. Short-term loans, invoice finance or overdraft facilities tailored for seasonality can smooth cashflow so you can buy feed, seed or meet payroll through quiet months. Here’s how it works: you tell us the amount and timing, we match you with lenders who understand agricultural cash cycles.
Farm Machinery & Equipment Finance
Asset finance and hire purchase let you spread the cost of tractors, combines and other equipment over time while keeping your working capital free. Many lenders offer terms suited to machinery lifecycles and residual values — submit an enquiry and we’ll find specialists who finance both new and used equipment.

Livestock Purchase & Herd Expansion Funding
Buying livestock or expanding your herd often requires capital on a tight timescale. Lenders experienced with agricultural livelihoods can offer tailored facilities that recognise breeding cycles and market timing.
Land Improvement, Buildings & Infrastructure
Funding for silage clamps, animal housing, drainage, or conversion of buildings can be arranged either through secured loans, commercial mortgages or specialised development finance. Our partners review project plans and help identify the most suitable route.

Sustainability & Agri‑Tech Investments
Solar, renewables, anaerobic digestion, precision farming tech and low-emission equipment can qualify for specific finance options or blended packages that combine grants with loans. Tell us about your project and we’ll match you to lenders experienced with green agri-investments.
Supply Chain & Contract Farming Support
Contract growers and farms supplying processors often need working capital to meet contract terms, buy inputs or secure seasonal labour. Invoice finance, supply-chain lending and tailored short-term loans are common solutions — we’ll find lenders who understand contractual cashflow patterns.
How Our Farming Loan Matching Process Works
- Complete a short enquiry form — tell us a few details about your farm, the funding purpose and the amount (takes around 2 minutes). No application or credit check is carried out by us at this stage.
- We match you to specialist partners — we select lenders/brokers from our panel who best fit your sector and funding need.
- Receive a rapid response — one or more partners will contact you to discuss options and next steps. This is an informal, no-obligation discussion.
- Compare offers and decide — you choose whether to proceed. If you progress, lender checks and documentation will follow directly with the provider.
That’s it. Quick, transparent and designed to reduce time wasted chasing unsuitable lenders.

Frequently Asked Questions About Farming Loans
Can I apply if my farm’s cashflow is seasonal?
Yes. Many partners know agricultural seasonality and can structure repayments or offer seasonal repayment profiles. When you complete our enquiry, tell us about peak months and off-seasons so we match you to appropriate lenders.
Do you introduce secured and unsecured farm loans?
We introduce you to providers who offer both secured and unsecured products. The right solution depends on loan size, assets available and the funding purpose; a matched broker can explain trade‑offs between security, rates and term.
What size of funding can I request?
Our panel can assist with funding from around £10,000 upwards. For larger-scale property or development finance, we work with lenders who can consider multi‑hundred‑thousand pound facilities.
How quickly can I access funds after approval?
Timescales vary by lender and product. For many small to medium facilities funds can be released within days of final approval; larger or secured facilities may take longer because of legal work and valuations.
Will my personal credit score be affected by enquiring?
No. Submitting an enquiry through Fast Business Loans does not affect your credit score. Lenders or brokers may perform credit checks later if you decide to proceed with a formal application.
Do you help farms investing in renewable energy?
Yes. We match projects to lenders experienced with renewables, where finance may be combined with grant funding or structured against projected energy savings.
