The equipment need

A restaurant owner was preparing to open in the fall and had a complete quote for equipping the kitchen.

The owner wanted to finance the entire quote without using the cash needed for the first months of operation.

The opening schedule required a fast answer to secure the order with the supplier.

  • Commercial ovens
  • Cooking line
  • Commercial refrigeration
  • Dishwashing and stainless steel fixtures

The support described in the project

Leaseworld structured an equipment lease covering the full quote, over a term matched to the economic life of the equipment.

The file was reviewed within a few days by a lessor specialized in foodservice.

Payments were calibrated to the restaurant's projected activity.

The reported operational outcome

The supplier was paid directly by the lessor and the equipment was delivered before opening.

The restaurant kept its startup cash intact for operating expenses, and the owner will have a purchase option at the end of the term.

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.
