Farm Business Planning

Rural Advisor can help your business by producing thorough business reviews and plans for your business’s future. We can review your business and benchmark your current performance.  With significant changes to the farm support schemes around the corner, it has never been more important to ensure that your business is prepared for life after the Basic Payment Scheme.

The team has first-hand knowledge of farming, consultancy and regulatory requirements.  We can advise and prepare:

• Appraisals of investments and changes in enterprises on farm;
• Plans for changes due to succession or splitting of a business;
• Benchmarking to make improvements;
• Budgets and cashflows.

Farm Partnerships and Corporate Structures

We have a dedicated team who specialise in the drafting of farm partnerships and business structures to ensure that the business is being run in the most efficient way by recording in writing the intention of the parties. Disputes tend to arise out of lack of communication and clarity as to what the business is looking to achieve and the roles of individuals within that business.

Rural Advisor prides itself on a large number of its staff’s first-hand knowledge of farming businesses and practicalities. It is often the case that disputes in rural areas require a practical and workable solution. Rural Advisor’s unique combination allows us to advise any business comprehensively when it encounters difficulties.

We can also advise on various joint venture options and prepare appropriate contracts for a variety of relationships, such as Contract Farming and Share Farming.
