New developments among rural business lenders

CMM Rural has recently seen some interesting developments and new opportunities among lenders that service the UK’s diverse rural economy.

Firstly, a leading bank has appointed a national agricultural specialist who is tasked with providing agricultural expertise across the country and increasing his firm’s market share in the sector.

The move has a ring of authenticity about it because the person taking up the post was brought up on pig farm and has previously worked as a self-employed agricultural business advisor.

This particular lender is also promising to appoint agricultural managers in Scotland in efforts to provide better access to its services.

In a separate development, a US bank that describes itself as a financial partner to the technology, life sciences and cleantech / renewables sectors has opened a London branch.

The new arrival is offering a full suite of products and services to innovation businesses in in the UK including loans, cash management services, trade finance and foreign exchange.
