Farmers never stand still
You know you need to plan for the future, but your days are busy and getting tomorrow on the to-do list can be challenging. Remember you can lean on us for advice. We’ll help you understand your challenges and identify opportunities that might otherwise be missed. A well-planned future doesn’t just secure your farm’s success, it brings peace of mind, knowing you’re making the right choices for your business and your family.
While grants and schemes can provide valuable financial support, securing funding isn’t just about applying, it’s about ensuring your business structure is aligned to meet the necessary requirements. Whether you’re considering investment in new equipment, expanding your farm, or improving sustainability practices, we help ensure that your farm is structured correctly to maximise opportunities while avoiding unexpected tax liabilities or compliance issues. With our expert guidance, you can move forward with confidence, knowing your farm is built on a strong financial foundation.

Creating a plan for growth
No two farms are the same and therefore no two plans should be either. Your plan should be based on your own circumstances, and it should play to your own unique strengths while taking advantage of opportunities you might not have even realised were there. Together, we can assess your business structure in the context of industry trends, regulations, and your long-term goals to ensure you’re set up for sustainable growth.
A well-structured farm business isn’t just about maximising efficiency today, it’s about ensuring resilience for the future. Whether you’re expanding operations, transitioning to a new structure, or planning for generational succession, having the right financial and legal framework in place is essential. We help you identify the best approach to structuring your business, ensuring that it aligns with your ambitions while optimising tax efficiency, financial stability, and access to available supports.
Ensuring the right structure for grants & schemes
EU and Government grants and schemes can provide valuable financial support for farm development and expansion. However, accessing these funds isn’t just about making an application—it’s about ensuring your business structure is aligned to meet the necessary requirements. At ifac, we don’t advise on grant applications, but we work closely with farmers and their Agri Advisors to ensure that their business structure is correctly set up to avail of funding opportunities without unexpected tax liabilities or financial complications.
Whether you’re applying for the Basic Income Support for Sustainability Scheme (BISS), the Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme (TAMS), or other available supports, we make sure that your business structure is compliant, efficient, and optimised to support your long-term financial goals. By ensuring your farm is structured correctly, we help protect your entitlements and avoid unnecessary pitfalls, allowing you to move forward with confidence.
