The equipment need
The manager asked us to equip the kitchen of his restaurant with complete professional equipment.
The cash purchase of all cooking, cold and laundry facilities was a cash effort that was incompatible with the start-up of the business.
The requirement was for equipment delivered and installed quickly, without imposting the capital needed for working capital.
The financial performance of the restaurant depended directly on the start-up of the kitchen within the announced deadlines.
- Professional cooking piano and stoves
- Mixed oven and cooling cell
- Refrigerated stainless steel furniture and worktops
- Dishwasher with hood and laundry
The support described in the project
We have structured an equipment lease covering all the kitchen, cooking, cold and laundry equipment combined.
The financing structure has been aligned over a period of 48 months, aligned with the actual duration of use of professional equipment.
We have included installation and commissioning costs in the contract, in order to avoid any additional disbursement.
The case was investigated with a financial partner familiar with the catering sector and its start-up cycles.
The reported operational outcome
The restaurant was equipped with no significant input and kept its cash for inventory and start-up charges.
The option of purchasing at the end of the contract leaves the manager with the choice between resuming the equipment and renewing it.
The commissioning took place in accordance with the schedule provided by the operator.
