Guiding you through grants and schemes with clarity and confidence

Baileys & Partners provides expert advice on rural funding opportunities across both Wales and England, helping landowners, farmers, and rural businesses access vital financial support.

We guide clients through applications for the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) in England, the forthcoming Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS) in Wales, and a wide range of one-off capital grant schemes.

Our surveyors offer tailored advice on eligibility, compliance, and maximising returns, ensuring clients benefit from schemes that support food production, biodiversity, and environmental improvement. With in-depth knowledge of rural funding policy, Baileys & Partners helps clients secure opportunities that sustain and enhance their businesses.
