01
How it works
You purchase any class of viable female, with the invoice settled by StockCo…
Meaning livestock stays on the StockCo balance sheet – allowing us to manage the GST whilst you increase your breeding numbers, without tying up working capital.
02
How it works
Over the following 12 month period, you control and manage the livestock for breeding purposes…
leaving the management decisions to you – with the overall goal being an increase in your productive females.
03
How it works
A local StockCo representative will conduct an on-farm livestock assessment…
confirming the number of viable females you wish to retain and roll over on finance for another 12-month period.
04
How it works
To complete the roll over, a principal repayment, along with the accrued interest, is paid to us…
with payment made at any time prior to the 12-month anniversary of the initial purchase date.
05
How it works
These payments can be timed to income events, such as the sale of progeny, other livestock you own or crop proceeds. Payments can be made at any time, from any source…
and we can even provide a Stock Advance against the progeny, to assist in making the principal and interest payments.

01
How it works
We finance 100% of your livestock
purchase including GST…
StockCo take title to the livestock which means we
are responsible for the GST and finance charges only
accrue on the GST exclusive amount.
02
How it works
Whether for two months or twelve months, the Stockco funding model lets you concentrate on getting the best results within your program...
whilst we retain title of the livestock – meaning you have the freedom to run your operation however you see fit.
03
How it works
At sale time, we collect the principal and finance costs and release the trading margin as you sell...
providing real-time cashflow as the profit is paid directly to you.

01
How it works
We work with you to assess the current market value of your livestock...
then advance an agreed amount up to that figure – letting you continue to maximise the price of your stock, rather than having to sell when you need cash.
02
How it works
You background, finish or feedlot your animals...
then sell when you choose, at the best possible time to maximise your profits.
03
How it works
Once the livestock are sold, you receive the sales margin...
with StockCo deducting the original Stock Advance, along with the accrued finance costs.

Generally StockCo will provide a decision on applications within 2 business days of receipt of all necessary information.
We have a preferred minimum limit of $200,000 although we will consider applications for smaller amounts where there are reasonable prospects to grow over time.
There is no maximum facility limit. StockCo has engaged in a number of transactions greater than $10 million.
We take security directly over the livestock that we have funded. We register our interest in the livestock on the Personal Property Security Register. We also track livestock movements via the National Animal Identification and Tracing database. Additionally, in the event that our customer is not the owner of the business assets, we may require a guarantee.
In some instances, StockCo may require other security agreements following its assessment of the customer.
StockCo is not a bank.
Our strategy is to enhance your relationship with your existing bank, by providing an opportunity for you to generate greater returns from your existing livestock business, without impacting your existing arrangements with your bank.
We do this by taking direct security over the livestock we fund and by taking guarantees from major asset owning people or entities.
