Equity Partnerships Farming Note

Equity partnerships can help to encourage the younger generation to remain in the dairy industry, and offer an attractive exit route for the retiring farmer.

This Farming Note covers:

• How to start an equity partnership
• Equity partnership business structure
• Taxation and legal structure
• Profit share
• Creating an equity partnership
