Our service

Seasonal cashflow without disrupting your grain marketing.

Ottley Commodities provides growers with the option to access advance payments against grain stored on-farm, whether sold or unsold.

By registering your business and nominated on-farm storages, you'll be ready to receive payment as soon as grain is loaded into your storage, straight off the header.

The grain remains in your storage and under your control, allowing you to continue marketing your grain when the timing is right for your business.

Our Grain Advance is not crop finance or an increase to your existing banking facilities. It simply provides another option to access working capital using the value already sitting in your on-farm storage.

Our solution helps address one of the biggest challenges in broadacre farming, seasonal cashflow, while allowing growers to continue marketing grain into higher-value deferred delivery periods.

Cashflow

Turn your silo into a cashflow facility. Access funds within 48 hours of approval.

Control

Keep grain on-farm and under your control.  Continue marketing grain when prices suit your business.

Convenience

Maintain your existing finance arrangements. No prescribed use of funds.  

Our process

The No-Obligation Setup Process

Getting started is quick, simple and obligation-free.

Once completed, your approved storages become recognised facilities capable of supporting advance payments whenever grain is sitting within them. You'll be ready to request funds as the need arises.

Our difference

-

Ottley Commodities is introducing an industry-first solution that transforms on-farm grain storage into a cashflow facility. Rather than delivering grain simply to access working capital and incurring unnecessary delivery and associated costs, growers can unlock the value of grain already stored on-farm while retaining control of their marketing decisions.


The result is greater flexibility, improved cashflow, reduced selling costs and the freedom to sell when the market is right for their business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions answered

Is this a loan?

Chevron Down/Up

The Grain Advance is designed to provide advance payments against grain stored on-farm. It is not crop finance and does not require refinancing your existing banking arrangements.

Who owns the grain?

Chevron Down/Up

Ottley Commodities owns the grain but you retain control of the grain and your marketing decisions throughout the process, subject to the terms of the Master Commodities Agreement.

How quickly can I access funds?

Chevron Down/Up

Once your business and storages are registered and approved, advance payments can generally be arranged within 48 hours.

Do I need a mortgage?

Chevron Down/Up

No. No mortgage or security over your land is required. The grain stored on-farm and subject to the Grain Advance provides the security for the advance.

Do I need to provide financial statements?

Chevron Down/Up

No financial statements are required as part of the standard registration process.

Is there a cost to have this option available?

Chevron Down/Up

No. There is no cost to having the option to request an advance. Management fees are only incurred while an advance is in place.

Chevron Down/Up

Yes. The Grain Advance is designed to work alongside your existing grain marketing strategy, allowing you to retain flexibility around when and where you sell.

Do I have to use the facility once I'm registered?

Chevron Down/Up

No. Registration simply gives you the option. If you never need it, there is no obligation to request an advance.
