The equipment need
A newly opened food-service business wanted a high-end professional espresso machine.
The manager asked for a short 24-month term with an option to buy the machine at the end of the contract.
As a young business, it did not yet have the financial history needed for a conventional bank loan.
- High-end professional coffee machine
- Grinder and barista accessories
The support described in the project
Leaseworld arranged a 24-month lease with a purchase option covering the machine and its accessories.
The application was reviewed on the strength of the business plan and financing plan rather than on financial statements that did not yet exist.
The purchase option was set at a nominal amount so the manager could take ownership of the machine at the end of the 24 months.
The reported operational outcome
The business was able to open with professional-grade equipment without tying up its startup cash.
The monthly payment was covered within the first few weeks of operation.
The business will own the machine outright at the end of the 24-month contract.
