For buying and refinancing livestock handling systems & equipment
Livestock handling systems are equipment and facilities that help farmers manage their animals more efficiently and safely. They include things like fences, gates, chutes, scales, feeders, waterers, and more. Livestock handling systems can improve animal welfare, productivity, and profitability for farmers.
However, livestock handling systems can also be expensive and require a large upfront investment. That’s why many farmers opt for livestock handling system finance and leasing, which are ways of spreading the cost of the equipment over time.
There are two main types of finance available for livestock handling system finance and leasing:
Hire purchase and Finance lease.
Here’s what that means, and what each entails:
To apply for livestock handling system finance and leasing, the farmer needs to find a suitable lender or broker who can offer them the best deal. The lender or broker will assess the farmer’s credit history, income, and cash flow, and determine the amount and terms of the loan or lease.
The lender or broker will also arrange the delivery and installation of the equipment, and take care of the paperwork and legal formalities.
You’ll then start paying the monthly instalments or rentals, and use the equipment for farming operations. You will also responsible for the insurance, maintenance, and repair of the equipment, unless otherwise agreed with the lender or broker. Additionally, you’ll also have to comply with the terms and conditions of the agreement, and notify the lender or broker of any changes in their circumstances.
Livestock handling system finance and leasing comes with some drawbacks – here’s a helpful overview, for your information:
The amount you can borrow or lease depends on your credit history, income, cash flow, and the value of the equipment. Typically, you can finance or lease up to 100% of the cost of the equipment, but you may need to pay a deposit or provide a guarantor.
The term of the finance or lease depends on your preferences and the type of equipment. Typically, the term ranges from 12 to 60 months, but it can be longer or shorter depending on the agreement.
You may be able to end the finance or lease early, but you may have to pay a penalty or a settlement fee. You should check the terms and conditions of the agreement before signing it, and consult the lender or broker if you want to end it early.

I approached Clifton Private Finance to help me get a mortgage as an Expat working in the Far East. I would normally 'cut out the middle man' on something like this and try to get myself a deal directly with the banks, but I am now sold on the broker concept and wouldn't hesitate to use Clifton Private Finance again. There were a number of complicating factors such as being an expat, the stamp duty holiday, the sheer amount I wanted to borrow and the fact I wanted it all wrapped up before the Stamp Duty holiday ended. It is clear to me now that the relationship that brokers have managed to foster with their banks means they can simply pull levers and make stuff happen that us ordinary folk cannot. Put simply, they are worth every penny, will take most of the stress out of the lending process, and seem to have access to deals that you just won't find on the internet. Thank you George and Jan for all your hard work!

Luther was excellent. Very clear in his advice and explanations of products and was able to move things on very quickly when we ran into difficulties with the estate agents. Without a doubt I would recommend Luther to all friends, family and colleagues. Luther was a joy to deal with and took a lot of the stress out of a troublesome transaction, from my end. I would view Luther as real asset to Clifton Private Finance Ltd.

The team at Clifton Private Finance has been outstanding, not only in helping me to obtain a mortgage on a slightly unusual home, but also in continuing to provide support and liaise with the lender and solicitors through to completion. Thank you for making the process of buying my first home much easier.

Sam O'Neill, and the new lender he identified for me, worked tirelessly together using my time constraints, to make sure my mortgage application was completed on time. They are a brilliant company to work with, fast, efficient, open and transparent from the very beginning, and turned a seemingly impossible situation into a viable one. Sam was brilliant throughout the whole process and I would highly recommend him, and his colleague Helen, to anyone without hesitation, I cannot speak highly enough about them.

I was incredibly lucky to find Clifton Private Finance after a search on line as their service has been more than exemplary. My point of contact was Sam 0’Neill and he was happy to help at every stage during the application of the bridging loan, making a stressful process much easier to deal with. He was always available by phone or email and gave prompt answers to queries I had as well as always getting back to me when he said he would. That to me is excellent customer service and I cannot thank him personally or the company enough for the support they have given me.

Adam cannot thank you enough for all your support throughout this arrangement. You have gone more than the extra mile to support us. Without you we would not have got our dream retirement home. You have been most professional and personable. Liz and I would be more than happy if you wanted to use us a reference with respect to any future clients.

You have certainly shown me that you do everything for your clients, including tolerating their excessive emails and questions for updates. I have been kept in the loop, from yourself, about why the delays were occurring (Nationwide, post etc) which I would like to highlight that I really appreciated. I certainly will be able to recommend you to others as and when the need arises.

I recently contacted Clifton Private Finance after a Google search for bridging finance providers and was immediately struck by their efficiency and support. Forms were emailed over almost immediately and the necessary finance was arranged within a few days. None of the other companies I contacted came close to their professionalism, and the quote that I eventually received was impressive. Thank you Adam, your help has enabled us to reserve the house that we wanted and I certainly recommend you to others.

Absolutely brilliant. The service was first class, got everything sorted efficiently and were always friendly. Any fees were negligible compared to the service offered. Robert was particularly outstanding.

My advisor, Robert, was very helpful in finding the mortgage to suit me. He kept me up to date throughout the process and dealt with any issues when they arose.
