The equipment need
This distributor of mobile food trailers and mobile concepts was expanding into a new market after establishing itself in several other countries.
In its established markets, a large share of sales was already leased, while in the new market nearly all purchases were still made in cash.
Demand from mobile food entrepreneurs was strong, but the average ticket, under $22,900, remained an obstacle for startups, and the distributor was preparing to open a new distribution point targeting several dozen launches per year and annual orders above $1.1 million.
- Fully equipped kitchen trailers
- Bar trailers and ice cream trailers
- Commercial grills and smokers
- Service carts and mobile furniture
The support described in the project
Leaseworld structured a sales financing offer covering the entire range, from kitchen trailers to bar and ice cream trailers and mobile cooking equipment.
The chosen structure was a 48-month lease with a purchase option, suited to commercial towable equipment.
Two review tracks were set up, one for established businesses and one for startups, each with documents and guarantees calibrated to the profile, and a rate schedule was given to the distributor's sales teams so they could quote a monthly payment from the first meeting.
The reported operational outcome
Leasing became an option presented by default in every sales proposal instead of being requested case by case.
Entrepreneurs launched their businesses while preserving startup cash, with payments covered by the trailer's operations.
The share of financed sales in the new market was moving toward the levels seen in the distributor's other markets, and the program supported the new distribution point and remained available for product lines added later.
