The equipment need

A rapidly expanding group operating several restaurant brands and fitness centers wanted to restructure the financing of its equipment without drawing on its borrowing capacity.

It wanted financing terms matched to the actual useful life of the equipment rather than to its accounting depreciation schedule.

  • Commercial kitchen equipment
  • Air conditioning and furniture
  • Fitness equipment

The support described in the project

Leaseworld structured a master rental lease agreement held by the parent company, under which each subsidiary could sign individual schedules.

The program started at $859,000 before growing to an annual volume of about $1.1 million, covering kitchen equipment, air conditioning, furniture and fitness equipment.

The reported operational outcome

The group sped up its equipment acquisitions with less paperwork.

The subsidiaries' cash position improved, supporting the pace of new location openings.

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.
