Getting Money
From Lenders

To Support Your Business Management And Business Growth Aspirations

START NOW

The Lender Ready Program bought to you by ABDI in collaboration with Meat & Livestock Australia, plus Dept of Agriculture and Fisheries, Qld and AgForce.

One of the biggest fears that agri-business owners have, is going to lenders and getting money...

Getting, managing and keeping your money is a really challenging and frustrating aspect of managing and growing your agribusiness.

In the current lending environment, having a simple, straightforward and systematic process to follow to get money is essential 

And when it comes to getting the money you need to grow your business, getting the tools, system and templates – plus direct access to proven specialists - will make your life far less painful. 

 

Watch this short video from ABDI Director Gordon Stone, talking about the struggles and fears agri-business owners like you are facing right now, and how you can fix them. 

Australian agriculture is comprised of hard-working, innovative people who are the essence of the quality food, fibre and goods we use in our everyday lives.

However, most are solid achievers, operating quietly in the background.

As a result, they often get less than is due to them.

When you start thinking about getting money from lenders, there is absolutely no substitute for getting it 100% right. 

To do that, you need to understand how lenders think and to use a system that is fit for purpose for their requirements.

It is ideal if you:

✔︎ Are looking to undertake orderly and structured growth/expansion of your business

✔︎ Are trying to manage the business better, with greater discipline and focus (requiring money)

✔︎ Have defined plans to expand and fine tune its operations

✔︎ Have specific growth plans which need external funding

✔︎ Are currently determining how best to put a proposal forward for a loan or external funding (range of sources)

✔︎ Are at a loss how best to develop and put forward a proposal to a lender

✔︎ Genuinely feel that while you have the capability, you lack the skill to develop a structured funding application.

Some Business Owners will have Specialist Requirements in terms of Their Lender Engagement.

While the Lender Ready Program will help set up the system and process to engage with lenders – and be clear on “what you don't know you don't know” – sometimes there is no substitute for specific, personalised, 1:1 engagement between ABDI as advisers and specific clients seeking particular advice For Their Own Personal Needs. 

If you think this might be you, then a Personalised Call to Gordon Stone on phone 0408 063 229, to determine the extent to which we can assist and potential cost, is Step 1 in the process. 

You can book in a 30-minute, no obligation, free phone call to discuss your personal requirements.

If the Online Program Format isn't for you

There are two alternatives:

1. The Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Lender Ready Template Option

The DIY Option provides you with the core Lender Ready Program Material - but without our 'paint by the numbers' support. You will get:

  • A Structure to work through, including:
  • All LRP Briefing Papers - changes to the lending marketplace; lender wants, needs and drivers (Government and Commercial) and core investor needs and requirements
  • Self-Complete Worksheets
  • The Business Plan Template - a Word document template, based on a series of questions and dot points for you to self-complete (by answering the questions and following the comments)
  • The Financials Template - based on Excel spreadsheets where you self-complete your last 3 years historical's, current financial year progress to date and 3-years financial forecasts (simply insert the numbers)
  • Recordings of Three Specialty Webinars - a Government Lender, a Commercial Lender and insights from a Corporate Advisor (outlines how to access Investors and investor funds)

but, best of all you DO get a complementary 1-Hour Phone or Online Session with Gordon Stone, ABDI Director, to discuss your personal position, areas of concern and frustration plus any areas of clarification.

You may also choose to buy The Personal Business Lender Readiness Mentoring Package to complement the DIY Lender Ready Template Option

Cost $497
