Loan amounts under FundEquip range from €3,000 to €75,000, with funding options of between three and five years at interest rates of 3.9% for three-year terms and 4.5% for five-year terms.
Repayments are deducted from a farmer’s milk cheques between April and November.
Applicants must have a milk supply agreement and have been supplying Lakeland Dairies for longer than 12-months.
Applicants must be able to show a credit history.
Alo Duffy, Lakeland Dairies chair said: “The flexible and tailored repayment structure over three or five years allows for sustainable investment on farms while being able to manage cash flow over the duration of the loan”.
