Shearing Advance

Shearing time can be expensive.  Our Shearing Advance is designed to assist with immediate shearing related expenses.
Once approved, a cash advance to a maximum of $500 per anticipted bale will be paid into your nominated bank account, provided you consign your wool to Elders. 

There are no upfront fees and repayment of principal and interest automatically occurs from your wool sale proceeds.

Interest is charged from the date after any interest free period ends, until the advance plus all accrued interest is repaid. Interest is calculated on the amount of the advance (calculated daily and compounded monthly). 

Rates vary and are available on application. Terms and conditions apply. Read the full Terms and conditions.
