Assisting rural businesses with their growth ambitions

An equity partnership is where two or more people combine their equity and skills to purchase a farming operation. Equity partnerships typically involve a small group of investors who are introduced by a common party. Generally, those involved in equity partnerships have a knowledge of the investment and some experience in the rural sector.

Facilitating equity partnerships

Rabobank specialists facilitate equity partnerships by maintaining a database of interested equity partnership investors and then introducing them to suitable opportunities across New Zealand’s agricultural sectors, as they arise.

There is no fee for Rabobank’s facilitation service.

Benefits

An equity partnership is an attractive and viable business alternative for farm ownership because it:

• Enables investors to purchase a property with greater scale than they would otherwise achieve on their own
• Gives investors the ability to benefit from the skills of other shareholders, including top-performing farm managers
• Allows investors to spread their capital and risk across a number of investments.
