The agricultural sector currently faces many challenges. One solution is to grow and create economies of scale. Bridging Loans can provide the necessary funding to support that growth

Table of Contents

FGreater investment can help farmers generate greater profits. Arable farms can expand their acreage or invest in new equipment. Pastoral farms invest in new accommodation for livestock. All farmers can invest in new technology from tractors with GPS to biofuel.

Growing a farm business can mean economies of scale. But many farmers find banks are slow to approve finance for agricultural borrowing.

The solutions can be found with Bridging Finance, which offers farmers the funding they need as they need it.

What is a Bridging Loan?

Bridging Loans are large-scale, short-term loans which can be set up fast. They can be used to seize an opportunity before a long-term source of funding can be arranged. They are so-called because they “bridge the gap” until longer-term finances can be put in place.

A farmer could take out a Bridge Loan to buy land at auction, or when a quick sale is required. He or she could then take their time to arrange a mortgage which would repay the Bridging Loan. A mortgage may simply take too long to arrange when there is a bargain to be had.

Bridging Finance is secured on property. It is most often used to buy the property it is secured on, but it can also be used to raise funds on property that is already owned, providing a cost-effective solution for raising short-term cash for virtually any need.  

Why Use Bridging Finance in Agriculture?

Bridging Finance can be ideal for farmers who require a high level of funding, but who will inevitably face fluctuation income thanks to the weather and the markets.

It has several advantages:

  • Fast - Bridging can be arranged in days
  • Flexible - loans can be tailored. Terms can be extended, interest rolled up repayment schedule planned on an individual basis 
  • Versatile - loans can be used for any purpose from buying land to building a robot milking parlour
  • Scale - Bridging Loans are available from as little as £10,000, up to £millions

Bridging Finance can be secured against nearly any asset, although property is most often used. Some lenders will accept a second charge security, meaning that the loan can be against a property which is already under finance such as a mortgage.

It can also be fast. Unlike high street banks, Bridging Lenders can turn a loan from application to approval in a very short space of time - often less than a week, and sometimes in as little as 48 hours.

How much will a bridge cost?

The cost of Bridging Finance reflects the scale of lending that is required and are usually a short-term funding solution.

Several factors will influence the cost, including the “exit strategy” - how the borrower intends to repay the loan.

So, for example, a farmer may raise funding on his farmhouse to buy additional productive acreage at an auction. Once he has secured the land, he can arrange a mortgage, or use future profits as an exit strategy. Bridging providers will work flexibly with their customers to determine whether their exit strategy is viable.

In addition to a monthly interest cost, lenders may charge a lender arrangement fee – a fee for setting up the loan.

All costs for finance will be pre-agreed when the loan is set up.
