FUnding & FinancE
Financing diversification is a vital part of the project journey. We assist clients by helping them understand the various options and opportunities available, from finance to grant funding. Our work with clients involves the formulation of long-term, risk-adjusted strategies to ensure the realisation of their objectives and visions without risking the asset or existing business.
Grant Funding Advice and Financial Strategies
Dudley Peverill Associates is well placed to support farming businesses in navigating the complex landscape of capital and devolved grant funding. With specialist knowledge of rural policy and farm diversification, we help identify the most suitable funding streams, from national farming grant programmes such as the Farming Investment Fund to devolved grants administered by local authorities. Our strength lies in aligning projects with the criteria that funders are looking for, ensuring applications are underpinned by robust business planning, clear financials, and a strategic vision. This combination of technical expertise and practical understanding gives our clients confidence that opportunities for grant support are fully explored and maximised.
Budgeting and Business Plans
Investing in enterprise or property diversification requires a sound understanding of the financials. We ensure all projects are informed by comprehensive budgeting and the compilation of business plans, which are vital in securing finance, grant applications, gaining stakeholder buy-in and ultimately guiding investment decisions.
Capital Structuring and Raising Finance
Whether accessing new or existing banking partners or drawing on our trusted network of specialist finance providers, DPA can help secure the right funding for our client’s project. We take the time to understand both the circumstances of our clients and the specific requirements of their projects, then match these to the preferences of lenders who are most likely to support the plans. By presenting well-prepared business plans, financial forecasts, and clear project structures, we give funders the confidence they require. Our role is to open doors to appropriate finance options and guide clients through the process, ensuring funding becomes an enabler of projects and diversification rather than a barrier.
Joint Ventures and Concessions
In joint venture arrangements, the client typically brings land and assets, while the joint venture partner contributes finance or operational expertise. These partnerships can be structured in different ways to clearly define roles, responsibilities, and returns. Concessions offer alternative routes, allowing experienced operators to run an enterprise on a client’s land under agreed terms. This not only provides access to established operational expertise but also affords brand integrity and the potential for complementary operators who enhance the overall value of client projects and enterprises. We help structure these partnerships to balance risk and reward, ensuring they align with your long-term objectives.
Operators and Leaseholds
We help identify and engage suitable operators who can lease the asset, giving funders and clients assurance that there will be long-term income in place once a project is handed over. By combining sound financial planning with credible third-party validation, we help reduce risk in the eyes of lenders and increase the likelihood of securing competitive funding for our client’s projects.
