The equipment need

A distributor of products and equipment for fast-food businesses wanted to offer financing to its customers, with a typical order of $11,500–$17,200.

It was looking for a simple, fast program that could be built directly into its sales quotes, with help structuring the offer.

  • Commercial fast-food equipment
  • Cooking and refrigeration equipment
  • Counter equipment and accessories

The support described in the project

Leaseworld structured an equipment lease with a purchase option that fit into the distributor's sales process, with quick answers for business customers.

The program covered all the commercial equipment the distributor sold and was open to startups as well as small and midsize businesses.

The reported operational outcome

The distributor added a monthly payment option to its quotes, removing the upfront-cost barrier for its customers.

This sped up equipment sales and led to a referral partnership.
