Assignment of Payment with Nifty Hoops

Struggling to finance your high tunnel project upfront? 

What if there was a way to ease the financial burden?

We understand that cash flow can be a challenge for many growers. That’s why we offer an Assignment of Payment option for those receiving NRCS funding and opting for a complete install (Community Build or Full Installation).

How Assignment of Payment Works:

Deposit: Growers pay a 30% deposit at the time of signing. 

Cost Assistance: We float a portion of the remaining project cost covered by your NRCS funding. 

Reimbursement: After your structure passes inspection, NRCS funding goes towards your remaining balance.

We can help to cash flow the project cost , making it easier to bring your high tunnel project to life.
