The equipment need
The business wanted to acquire a used 250 horsepower tractor to increase its traction capacity on its seasonal work.
The use of the used market allowed access to a high power for a budget far lower than that of new equipment.
A capital purchase would have held a significant portion of the cash at the start of the marketing year, when disbursements were the most concentrated.
The business's bank loans were already widely used for the financing of the operating cycle.
This required a financing solution dedicated to equipment, independent of short-term lines.

The support described in the project
We have put in place an equipment lease for the purchase price, for an amount of between $115,000–$229,000.
Prior expertise was conducted on the age, number of hours and general condition of the tractor, in order to secure the value of the asset over the entire duration of the contract.
The duration has been set at 60 months, consistent with the expected residual use time of such a installation.
The schedule has been aligned on the seasonality of revenues, so that lease payments coincide with cash-out periods.
A purchase option at the end of the contract was provided, leaving the operator the freedom to retain or renew the equipment.
The reported operational outcome
The farm disposed of the tractor from the beginning of the campaign, without raising any capital.
The liquidity has been fully preserved and remains available for use in the operating cycle.
The existing banking lines have not been started, which maintains a pool of funds available in case of hazards.
The choice of used equipment has resulted in the desired power for a significantly reduced financial commitment.
Applying the experience to a new project
Use this case to identify the equipment, timing and ownership questions relevant to your own investment. The historical scope and term are specific to the project described. For a new U.S. project, identify the contracting business, installation state, supplier quote and preferred use period; available structures require a separate assessment.
