THERA’S VALUE PROPOSITION AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

Supporting Farm Enterprise Optimisation and Sector Growth

    WEALTH CREATION

        Farmers use their term-capital (term-debt and equity) to create wealth by investing in long term assets (e.g. property, water) and asset improvements (e.g. fences, sheds, water infrastructure), and use Thera’s capital to operate their business (e.g. seasonal finance).

    CONFIDENTIALITY

        Farmers can access seasonal finance without needing to discuss personal financial information with the local agent or supplier.

    DIVERSIFICATION

        Farmers prefer to have an alternative source of capital outside of their bank facility.

    INDEPENDENT

        Thera provides independent finance unlike a rural retailer that will provide finance for goods and services bought from them exclusively. Thera’s facility offers farmers the opportunity to negotiate the purchase of goods and services from the most competitive supplier(s) independent of financing.

    FLEXIBLE

        Most seasonal finance providers are limited to financing one collateral type which leads to farmers needing several facilities for different purposes. Thera can provide one facility to cover all their seasonal finance type requirements.

    RISK MANAGEMENT

        Farmers may elect not to sell harvested crops at harvest (seasonally low basis and pricing) and Thera’s financing can be used to provide liquidity against harvested inventory to help pay for immediate expenses (e.g. machinery leases) allowing the farmer time to benefit from improved basis/pricing.

    CONVENIENT AND QUICK

        Thera’s facility is quick (application to first drawing can be a week) and easy to use (the farmer purchases goods and services and sends Thera the invoice to pay).

    ASSET UTILISATION

        A farmer's term debt facility may be inadequate to provide sufficient working capital for a farmer to achieve full utilisation of their enterprise potential. Thera can provide seasonal-finance to ensure farmers can maximise their enterprise performance.
