Greater investment can mean greater profits - but it will require funding that can be difficult to arrange if your farm business is already borrowing heavily - but solutions exist with second charge lending
Table of Contents
Growing a farm business can mean economies of scale. But many farmers find banks are slow to approve finance for agricultural borrowing, and credit of any kind can be difficult to arrange.
This can be even more of a problem if your farm business is already borrowing heavily.
Opportunities - and urgent financial demands - can both come along at any time. When your income is seasonal and depends on the profits from a harvest, there can be a need for cash that your available funds simply cannot match. If your existing funding depends on loans and mortgages secured on your property, it can be difficult to raise additional funds at short notice.
The solutions can be found with Second Charge Bridging Finance. This is a legal charge on a property that ranks behind a ‘first charge’, an additional loan usually used to secure additional borrowing, such as a second mortgage or a Secured Loan such as a Bridging Loan.
How a Second Charge works
Lenders want security for loans. This is something - often property - that they can sell if the borrower does not keep up the repayments. Interest rates for farm mortgages are can be lower than for other industries and this is generally because they provide valuable security and a very safe loan to value ratio.
It is simpler if the property used as security is free from other loans. However, it is possible to take a second charge so two lenders have a loan secured against the same property with one having a first charge and the other having a second charge.
Second charges may be more difficult to arrange than first charge lending.
It starts with the valuation of the property that the lender will take a charge on. Lenders refer to a LTV (Loan to Value) ratio, and for second charges have a limit of 60% LTV and prefer lending under 50%. This means that if you have security worth £100,000 they will lend up to £60,000. You will also need to provide a detailed analysis of your business proposal, how you will use the money and how you will make loan repayments.
Both mortgages and Bridging Loans may be available as second charge lending.
Mortgages
You may be able to arrange a Second Charge Mortgage to provide long-term funding for any purpose - from buying additional land or equipment, or erecting buildings. You can also use it to provide funding for any business purpose, including restructuring. A Second Charge Mortgage can be set up in a similar time to a First Charge Mortgage.
