How can I reduce business costs by joining a buying group?

A priority of any business is to make a profit. During uncertain times, this can be a concern and put unnecessary stress on you as a business owner.At AF, we buy smart, aiming to reduce costs and support margins for your business.Here’s how:

AF are the largest agricultural buying group in the UK, with 3000 members and growing. This means, that we can achieve preferential rates with our supplier base, something not available to the public.

We recognise that every business is different. This is why, at AF, we work with you to understand your individual business needs. Using these individual requirements allows us to work closely with our key suppliers to help members purchase strategically. For example, we can utilise ‘forward fixing’, meaning you can guarantee the best price over period time, in volatile markets such as fuel.Not only that, we can help members manage cash flow by offering deferred payment.

At AF, we believe that the agricultural industry is stronger when it unites. We are better together.If you’re interested in joining the UK’s largest agricultural buying group, please visit our membership page.
