Financing & contracts
Direct financing by Lortholary Bétail or support with your own bank — no need to switch banks. We offer the solution best suited to your situation, with end-to-end support.
Direct financing
For breeders who need responsiveness, we commit our own funds so you can start your activity without waiting. Direct financing allows you to place your animals immediately, with a deferred payment adapted to your production cycle.
Direct financing is offered as part of a comprehensive partnership including the marketing of your animals and regular technical monitoring.
Bank support
For structural projects (buildings, installations, major developments), we prepare your application and support you with your own bank to secure the best conditions. No need to switch banks.
Lortholary Bétail can also support you in your dealings with the Banque de l'Éleveur — without you having to change banks.
