The equipment need

A kitchen equipment wholesaler contacted Leaseworld on behalf of one of its customers, a restaurant chain.

The wholesaler's terms required 100% payment at order, which the customer could not cover right away.

The sale was stalled even though the equipment need was real and immediate.

The customer had ruled out a traditional bank loan and preferred to work with a leasing specialist.

The support described in the project

Leaseworld handled the end customer's file as the single point of contact for both the wholesaler and the user.

A 48-month equipment lease with a purchase option was structured on the machine and its related equipment.

The supplier was paid in full at order, in line with its terms of sale.

The restaurant operator paid only a monthly amount spread over the term.

The reported operational outcome

The sale, previously blocked by a payment constraint, closed.

The wholesaler was paid in full without departing from its own terms.

The restaurant chain put the machine into production without paying the full price upfront.

The supplier now routinely offers this structure to customers with tight cash flow.
