The right structure for every livestock requirement
Livestock Building Finance
Finance for cattle housing, sheep housing, and poultry sheds. Asset finance for the building as a fixed asset - hire purchase over 7-10 years for substantial livestock buildings.

Hire Purchase

Frequently asked questions
Can I finance a new cattle building?
Yes - livestock buildings are asset-financed as fixed assets, typically on hire purchase over 7-10 years. The building specification and cost determine the facility amount.
Is dairy parlour finance available for small dairy farms?
Yes - specialist dairy lenders fund milking systems for herds of all sizes. The income from the dairy enterprise and the asset value are the primary assessment criteria.
Can I get livestock finance with seasonal income?
Yes - seasonal payment structures aligned with cattle sales, lambing, or contract income are standard practice with specialist agricultural lenders.
Is planning permission required before I can get building finance?
Planning permission (or confirmation that permitted development applies) is typically required before a lender will commit to building finance.
Can I refinance existing livestock buildings?
Yes - owned livestock buildings with clear title are strong refinance assets. We arrange sale and leaseback for farms needing capital for herd or enterprise expansion.
