The equipment need
The operator had self-financed almost all of its investments over a single financial year, for a much greater amount than its operating cycle could absorb.
The assets involved were containerized bars, a modular set of offices and locker rooms of about 120 m2 and custom walls for a 250 m2 reception tent.
There were also food and beverage equipment acquired from the water, including a professional oven and ice machine.
This accumulation of cash purchases had dried up the available liquidity while the activity remained highly seasonal.
Management sought to transform these already paid assets into financial resources that could be mobilized for growth.
- Containers fitted out in outdoor bars
- Prefabricated office and changing rooms modules of approximately 120 m2
- Custom wall for a 250 m2 reception tent
- Professional oven and ice machine
The support described in the project
We have put in place a 48-month sale-leaseback for the assets already settled and still in perfect condition.
A valuation of the equipment was conducted to establish a sale price consistent with their market value and residual life.
The proceeds of the divestiture were paid to the company, which continued to operate the same equipment without any interruption of service.
Rental payments were aligned taking into account the seasonal nature of the activity and the distribution of receipts over the year.
The various lots were grouped into a single financing structure to avoid the dispersion of contracts and interlocutors.
The reported operational outcome
The company has restored significant liquidity without ceding the use of only one of its equipment.
The funds released were reallocated to the development of the business rather than remaining locked in assets already paid.
The systematic use of self-financing has been corrected in favour of a sounder balance between own funds and external financing.
The operator now has an identified leverage to finance its next investments without going back on cash purchases.
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.
