Short-term financing for a profitable dairy farm

Summary

The Company, founded in 1998 on the grounds of a former state farm, is among the largest dairy producers in Latvia. The Company specializes in dairy farming, while also growing grain, corn, and other crops for animal feed. Recognized as a breeder farm, it maintains a herd of 1,573 cattle, including 882 dairy cows, primarily Holstein and Latvian brown breeds.

Currently, the Company is in the process of transferring its credit line to a new bank with an increase in credit line amount. This increase would be used to settle with one of the key partners of agricultural supplies. To ensure timely payments to suppliers, it seeks short-term financing, which will be repaid once the new credit facility is approved.

Therefore, the Company is seeking EUR 510,000 financing for 6 months for working capital. The loan will carry a 9.12% annual interest rate (0.76% monthly) and it will be amortized at the end of the term. A mortgage on a land plot with a purchase price of EUR 322,00 and a commercial pledge on a grain harvester with a value of EUR 142,200 will be provided. The owner of the Company will provide a personal guarantee for the loan. The project risk rate is B (89 out of 100).
