A GSC Grays Service
Our Farm Cash Flow & Funding Support service (Budget Lite) is designed to help arable businesses navigate the financial pressure following a challenging Harvest 2025. With low yields and stagnant global prices, we know that cash flow will come under severe strain in early 2026.
Agricultural Finance Support
Securing Your Financial Future
Harvest 2025 was one to forget for many arable businesses. Consequently, low yields, wet weather, and stagnant global prices have combined with high fixed-cost inflation to place significant pressure on margins.
As we move into 2026, most farmers accept they will need additional funding to trade through to the next harvest. However, the uncertainty lies in knowing exactly when that cashflow gap will appear and how much funding you require.
Therefore, we developed this service in direct consultation with Agricultural Bank Managers. It provides the robust, realistic, and reliable information lenders need to support your funding requests.
Budget Lite Service Overview
Credible Data to Support Funding Requests
This service validates your lending request without the time and expense of a full whole-farm budget. Our consultants will prepare a concise, professional report covering the critical financial pillars of your business, including:
Why Choose This Service?
Cost-Effective and Bank-Ready
Banks are increasingly risk-averse and require independent validation that a business can service its debt. By using a format developed with their input, this service ensures you are “bank-ready,” supporting your negotiations for the most competitive funding terms available.
We understand that a complex, expensive review isn’t always necessary. This service is a cost-effective solution, with fees starting from £1,000 (depending on the size and complexity of the business). It offers a rapid turnaround to give you clarity on your break-even points and funding needs now, rather than waiting until the pressure peaks.
