The benefits of AMC finance

When we help you access AMC finance, you will receive a swift response on your funding proposal. You will also benefit from:

Competitive mortgage rates with interest-only and repayment options available (or a blend of both)
Rates can be set for the life of the agreement - unlike many other secured loans or overdraft agreements
No annual reviews or the need to see your annual accounts - we leave you alone to get on with the business of farming
No early repayment charges for variable rate loans
Finance secured against land as well as property to help you increase the capital you can raise
Loans and mortgage agreements can be transferred to the next generation
Access to AMC’s experienced and knowledgeable support teams who understand your unique funding needs
Funding decisions that can be approved in principle before you make a sealed bid or go to auction

Please note that the above are subject to AMC credit criteria and your obligations to AMC continuing to be met.

Who can access AMC funding?

Whether you are a sole trader, partnership, limited company or trust, you can access AMC’s competitive funding providing you are an agricultural, horticultural, equine or other commercial land-based business.

All lending must be for business purposes only and will be provided on a secured loan basis. AMC funding can be used to support a number of different opportunities, including:

Land purchase
New equipment or machinery
Building new or improving current structures
Diversification plans
New stock
Buying a farm tenancy
Refinancing current debt
Working capital support
Paying out a business/family partner to gain sole control

Types of loan available through AMC

AMC’s Standard Loan allows you to borrow from £25,001 upwards through a long-term standard loan. Repayment terms are available between five and 30 years, with interest rates that can be variable or fixed.*

* There is always a possibility that interest rates may go down leaving a fixed rate loan at a higher level compared to a variable rate loan. However, if interest rates rise, a fixed rate loan will remain at the same rate.
