Finishing Finance

Cashflow can be an issue for livestock producers. You have equity in your commercial sheep/and or cattle, but need extra funds to cover the expenses associated with backgrounding the stock. 

We've created Livestock Plus to provide working capital to fund expenses associated with finishing livestock.

Four-month term

Designed to keep things moving, each LivestockPlus adavance is for a maximum term of four months.

How it works

Funds are secured against commercial sheep and/or cattle, owned outright by you and consigned to Elders for sale. 

Once your application is approved, a cash advance to a maximum of 50 per cent of the estimated future sales proceeds of the consigned livestock (as confirmed by your Elders Branch/Livestock Manager) will be paid into your nominated bank account. 

Repayment of principal and interest will automatically occur from the proceeds of sale of consigned livestock (where those proceeds are sufficient to cover the repayment). 

Fees and interest

There are no fees on the Livestock Plus facility.

Interest is charged at a rate of 12 per cent per annum (calculated daily and compounded monthly) on the outstanding amount of the advance, from the date of the advance until the date of repayment including all accrued interest.

Protect your livestock in transit

Your livestock are a big investment so it makes sense to cover them while they are in transit. Should they die while in transit to their delivery location you will be compensated for their value.
