The equipment need

This distributor of mobile catering trailers and mobile concepts developed its business in the market after having established itself in several countries.

In its historical markets, a large proportion of sales was already financed in leasing, while almost all acquisitions were still made in cash.

The demand of the contractors in the street restaurant was strong, but the unit ticket, which was less than $22,900 on average, remained an obstacle for project promoters in the start-up phase.

The distributor was preparing for the opening of a distribution point in the South-West and aimed at several dozen start-ups per year, with an annual order volume exceeding $1,150,000.

  • Fully equipped kitchen trailers
  • Bar trailers and glacier trailers
  • Barbecues and professional smoking rooms
  • Service trucks and rolling stock

The support described in the project

We have structured a sales financing offer covering the entire range, from cooking trailers to bar and glacier trailers as well as mobile cooking equipment.

The financing structure chosen is a 48-month lease option, adapted to commercial rolling stock.

Two study paths were distinguished, one for established professionals and the other for business creators, with aligned pieces and warranties for each profile.

A lease payment grid was given to the distributor's sales teams so they could announce monthly payments from the first time you surrender.

The reported operational outcome

Leasing has become a default option on all commercial proposals, instead of being requested on a case-by-case basis.

The project promoters start their business by maintaining their start-up cash, the lease payment being covered by the trailer operation.

The share of financed sales on the market is increasing towards the levels observed in the other markets of the distributor.

The dispositf accompanies the opening of the new distribution point and remains valid for the ranges added afterwards.
