Across the UK agricultural sector, there is growing evidence that farmers are increasingly investing in precision agriculture and agri-tech solutions as they look to improve efficiency, reduce waste and manage rising operational costs.
Unlocking Value: £185,000 Released from Existing Assets in Devon
Many farming businesses are asset-rich—but that strength isn’t always reflected in available cash.
We recently worked with a family-run farm in Devon facing a familiar challenge. The business had built up a strong base of machinery over time, all owned outright and central to its operation. At the same time, it needed to release capital to support ongoing improvements and strengthen overall cashflow.
Acting Quickly: £96,000 Supporting Herd Expansion in Cumbria
We recently supported a beef and sheep farm in Cumbria that found itself in exactly that position. A neighbouring holding was dispersing, creating a rare opportunity to acquire additional livestock at favourable prices. For the business, it was a chance to strengthen future output and improve breeding capacity—but it required immediate action.
Stability Through Seasonality: £74,000 for an Equestrian Yard in Warwickshire
The business needed £74,000 to ease immediate pressures, maintain operations and ensure it entered the busier spring and summer months in a stable position. However, the uneven nature of income—common across equine businesses—meant that recent performance didn’t fully reflect the underlying strength of the operation.
Keeping the Wheels Turning: £121,000 for a Contractor in Lincolnshire
We recently supported a contractor in Lincolnshire whose business depended on being operational at exactly the right moments. Working across harvesting, cultivation and machinery services, demand for their work was strong—but like many contractors, they were exposed to delays outside their control.
