The equipment need

A food artisan owned a bakery oven and a blast freezer that were fully paid for, but needed to rebuild its cash.

It wanted a structure that would release about $34,400 of cash from this equipment.

  • Bakery oven
  • Blast freezer

The support described in the project

Leaseworld arranged a sale-leaseback: the equipment was sold to a financing partner and leased back to the business for monthly payments.

The transaction turned owned equipment into available cash while the artisan kept using it.

The reported operational outcome

The business recovered nearly $34,400 of cash without interrupting production, and kept using its oven and freezer.
