Support Payments
The realities of modern farming means that it is essential to ensure each business maximises available support mechanisms.
Because farming businesses rely on support payments it’s important to avoid the pitfalls of deductions or penalties as a result of non-compliance.
As regulations change and become more restrictive it’s vital that farming businesses have the most up to date information to plan with.
Environmental Work
In the future, its likely that more of our support will come from payments for maintaining the environment around our farms and crofts.
When it comes to environmental work, it’s vital to make sure that the work you do to protect the environment, enhances your business.
Environmental schemes are here, and now is the time to make the most of the natural capital that your land will have in abundance.
From carbon capture, to wildflower meadows, your business could be earning income from the natural world around it.

Many businesses will find them selves in positions where utilities or transport links require the use of land, either permanently or for a short while.
It’s important to make sure any work being carried out that impacts your land is well compensated for - even if you are a tenant. Make sure that any work done is properly compensated, and that your business doesn’t end up out of pocket.
Compensatory Agreements
No one knows what is around the corner for our businesses, so it is important to make every effort to plan for the future.
Whole farm reviews and detailed reviews of individual enterprises can be carried out to suit all businesses. Even as much as an outside perspective can be enough to stimulate some fresh thinking that a rural business could use to safeguard their future.
