Funding for new farming ventures
Oxbury Bank has launched a new initiative to help fund young farmers in a bid to tackle the demographic challenges in the industry.
The bank has announced the Oxbury NewGen product, which it says is a first-of-its-kind initiative in the UK aimed at new farmers aged 18-40.
The scheme will provide funding for new farming ventures while also providing advice to give new entrants a chance for success.
Oxbury says it will provide up to 100% of the financing required – depending on the business plan the applicant may not need to input any finance themselves.
