Has anyone applied and how did you get on? We are thinking of applying but we haven't heard very good things through the grape vine> we are just after some advice from those who have applied.
Same as @danpwll applied first round, bought the stuff, some of it for much less than they were quoted for, but you still get paid 40% of what they were quoted! Emailed the invoices and paid in under 30 days. Wish I'd applied for some more stuff
We were told by someone from the CLA that it was under subscribed, that it was complicated and application were being turned down because the wording was wrong ( the applicant doesn't speak civil servant). The equipment we are looking at the prices they have got are miles out. We are going to apply but we wanted some information from those who had applied first.Out of interest, what have you heard ‘through the grape vine’ that puts you off? I’ve heard nothing but good things from those that have actually applied, but a few made up stories from a few that haven’t even looked at it properly.
It’s been devised to be incredibly straightforward to apply and claim. Of those that applied for round one, only a handful were rejected I understand. A couple because they ticked the box to say they had a turnover of over a million £, a couple that didn’t use the trading name registered with RPW, and another that there was no record of him attending the Farming Connect Indoctrination meeting.
The only real problem is finding the 60%, which is why I was amazed it was undersubscribed again this time, falling at a time when BPS cheques would be arriving to ease cash flow.
Is it possible to get the list of the companies they went to to get the prices for the equipment for?

Has anyone had stuff bought on finance?
I wish id put more on but would be nice to have another crack but would it mean having to spend another £7500 to get the £3 k back
have had a nod off a contact that you can go for another go if you havent hit the 12k limit but the wg havent made any press statments yet !!!!!!!! but id guess you'd have to spend another 7500 min again !!
