Setting up on a farm
Quatuor, 20 years of presence
Over the past 20 years, Quatuor Transactions has established itself as a leader in the transfer of agricultural properties in the west of France, helping farmers to set up in business.
Setting up a farm is a major project, requiring a major commitment. For many, it is the realisation of a life project, involving entire farming families and merging personal and professional lives.
This process requires not only strong determination, but also solid support throughout the project and at every stage, from conception to installation. Setting up your own business is a complex process, marked by numerous administrative and legal formalities. It’s not always easy to find your bearings when you’re starting out, because every entrepreneur has different objectives and a different profile. That’s why it’s essential to ask yourself the right questions and get the right advice from the outset.
- In which region do I want to set up?
- For what type of production?
- Does my agricultural project, as I see it, need to be adapted to market realities? What are my options?
- Do I want to buy the land? Do I want to rent the land?
- What is the price of farmland in the region in question?
- What is my budget?
- What will the challenges for local agriculture be in the years to come?
Our team is on hand to work with you on a detailed action plan tailored to your needs. This plan will help you clarify your objectives and approach the search for your farm with peace of mind and confidence. Drawing on our expertise in the field, we’ll guide you towards the best options for your project, to ensure a tailored and effective approach.
Once the project has been defined, the next step is to search for farms based on your specific needs and criteria. This can be a long and essential phase, and it’s crucial to have a good grasp of each farm’s files so that you can plan ahead and sometimes identify farm development opportunities. Your Quatuor contact will be present at each visit and will provide you with a full dossier on the farm and the information you need to build your project. As they know the farms inside out, they will remain transparent on all aspects and will only present you with properties that match your plans.
And that’s it! You’ve found the farm of your dreams! But be careful, before you can set up your own business, you still have to go through the negotiation phase and the administrative and legal procedures. Working as a team with your Quatuor-Transactions negotiator and legal advisor, you’ll be perfectly prepared to ensure that this stage runs smoothly and that all the obstacles are overcome in the best possible conditions, right up until you set up your business!
‘Alone we go faster, but together we go further’. Because we all come from rural and agricultural backgrounds and speak the same language as you, we’re proud to have set up hundreds of farmers and thus played our part in renewing the generations.
