Farm credit financing in Pompano Beach helps nurseries, equestrian facilities, and specialty-crop growers secure equipment, land, and working capital through SBA 7(a), commercial real estate loans, and equipment financing programs.
Pompano Beach sits at the southern edge of Broward County's agricultural belt, where wholesale nurseries along Copans Road and equestrian centers near the county line coexist with residential development. These operations face a funding challenge most traditional banks misunderstand: their balance sheets mix real estate, living inventory, and seasonal cash flow. Lenders often classify them as "too rural" for commercial programs or "too commercial" for USDA farm loans, leaving owners stuck between silos.
As a commercial-loan broker, Hickory Funding Group navigates this gap by matching agribusiness owners to the right program and building files that address underwriter concerns before submission. We serve Pompano Beach, Coconut Creek, Margate, Deerfield Beach, and surrounding corridors from our Fort Lauderdale office at 1901 W Cypress Creek Rd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309, Pompano Beach, FL.
Loan programs
SBA 7(a) loans cover farm ownership, equipment purchases, and working capital for agribusinesses that generate revenue from production or services. The program requires documented cash flow, collateral appraisals, and personal guarantees, but it finances up to 90 percent of the project when the file is complete.
SBA 7(a) loans work well for equestrian boarding facilities buying adjacent parcels or nurseries replacing irrigation systems. Equipment financing structures shorter terms for tractors, greenhouse climate controls, and delivery trucks, using the asset itself as primary collateral. Commercial real estate loans fund land acquisition when the property generates income, though lenders scrutinize soil reports and zoning more closely than typical retail sites.
Working capital lines bridge the gap between planting and harvest cycles, and invoice factoring turns receivables from wholesale buyers into immediate cash. USDA farm operating loans remain an option for operations that meet acreage and revenue thresholds, but many Pompano Beach agribusinesses fall outside those brackets because they occupy smaller parcels near the I-95 corridor.
Underwriters reviewing farm credit financing demand three-year tax returns, profit-and-loss statements, inventory valuations, and environmental site assessments. A nursery owner juggling propagation schedules rarely has time to chase appraisers or reconcile balance-sheet footnotes. Hickory Funding Group coordinates that process: we order the environmental Phase I, schedule equipment appraisals, and translate seasonal revenue patterns into narratives underwriters trust.

A wholesale ornamental nursery near the Margate border wanted to buy two adjoining acres and install shade structures. The owner had strong revenue but his balance sheet showed high inventory and low liquid reserves. We structured an SBA 7(a) file that combined land acquisition and equipment costs, provided inventory-valuation schedules the underwriter accepted, and secured approval within 60 days. That documentation-made-simple approach turned a complex request into a fundable deal.
