Working with professional advisers to find suitable rural finance solutions for clients

Some of our recent case studies highlight how we’ve worked with professional advisors to secure suitable finance for their farming clients. They include how we worked with an accountant who had exhausted all his known methods of getting finance for a client to buy some land, and how a land agent put us in touch with his client as he wanted to make sure his clients had the most suitable deal for financing a new farm purchase. After calling on the agricultural and finance knowledge of R&BS, the accountant’s and land agent’s problems were solved and their clients were successful in achieving the finance they required, and the land and farm they wanted.

Are you a professional adviser working in or with the land-based industries? At R&BS we work very closely with professional advisers such as accountants, solicitors, business consultants and land agents to source mortgage finance for their clients. Our independent and specialist approach brings a number of benefits to you as an adviser and to your clients.

How R&BS help professional farming advisers.

• You can focus your time and effort on your core business. We know the right lenders to approach for different business situations, and know what they need to see in a finance application. We create and present a bespoke detailed finance applications for your clients to the lenders. This saves you time and allows you to focus on your core business activities.
• You get released from financial compliance restraints.By asking us to find your clients finance, it means that you don't have to be concerned with Financial Conduct Authority FCA regulations. We comply with the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB) code of practice and we have an interim license from the FCA, whilst we progress to full permission. The FCA’s primary operational objective is to promote effective competition in the interests of consumers. R&BS meets this by being independent and focussing on what the client needs, and not on banks’ internal policies and bonus structures.
• You add value to your services and give your clients the best chances of success. You are giving your clients independent access to finance from a wide range of funders to match your clients’ business needs. Your clients’ interests are firmly at the heart of what we do. We represent their needs and negotiate better rates and terms on their behalf. By using us to help your clients, in whatever financial situation they find themselves in, you are building trust with your clients and keeping them happy.
• You can move sales or purchasing propositions forward faster. By giving your clients fast, efficient access to finance they can catch those once in a lifetime purchase opportunities. We can also help your clients move into credible purchasing positions from a financial perspective.
