Backed by vertical knowledge in the production chains of the real economy and multi-year expertise developed by working alongside SMEs, Banca IFIS Impresa is launching Credito Agricolo, the area dedicated to companies working in the agricultural sector. It is a key sector for the country, in continuous transformation and with a strong vocation for the production of goods for an international market. For this reason, Banca IFIS Impresa, which knows the sector very well and currently has around 400 agricultural SME customers to its credit, has decided to support Italian agricultural companies by devoting energy, specialized products and a team of expert professionals.
Thanks to Credito Agricolo, farms will be able to find interlocutors able to listen and offer services created ad hoc and individual solutions designed to benefit from European funds for agriculture as well as finance commercial working capital and support future investments. Credito Agricolo professionals will present themselves to sector operators for the first time at Fieragricola, from 31 January to 3 February in Verona. They will be available to meet people and companies in Hall 7 – Stand B1 to present the services (leasing, factoring and much more) dedicated to the agri-food sector and in particular:
• PAC advance (advance of community contributions for agriculture): allows you to obtain an advance on the amount of the annual CAP contribution due to the agricultural enterprise;
• Contribution advance: allows you to take advantage of European funding for agriculture and receive a credit line against the contributions provided by the Rural Development Plan or any other regional, national or community allocation, aimed at supporting investments in Agriculture.
Banca IFIS Impresa also announces that it has signed an agreement with CreditAgri Italia, a player specializing in assistance and advice on credit and corporate finance and present throughout the country. By issuing guarantees in favor of the banking system, CreditAgri supports and facilitates access to credit for associated companies, agricultural cooperatives and joint stock companies.
"The creation of a specialized area dedicated to loans for agriculture - said Luca Bigatti, Head of Agricultural Development of Banca IFIS Impresa - represents a turning point in our development action on the territory precisely in a central market of Made in Italy which is increasingly in need of support. Furthermore, thanks to the agreement with CreditAgri and a strong and competent commercial network, we can broaden our range of action and support the entrepreneurial activity of SMEs at 360°”.
The new website www.creditoagricolo.it, completely dedicated to loans in the agricultural sector, also supports the knowledge of the Agricultural Credit services, through which companies can receive information on the 2017 agricultural incentives or make a request for financing, by contacting the “Filo Diretto” contact centre.
