The equipment need

A restaurant owner had self-financed all the equipment needed to open his establishment in the previous year.

This investment, made on equity, had greatly reduced its available liquidity even as the activity grew in power.

The operator sought to recover some of the locked-in amounts without separating from its equipment or interrupting its service.

  • Professional kitchen equipment
  • Cold rooms and storage equipment
  • Furniture and room layout

The support described in the project

We set up a leasing operation on professional kitchen equipment, conservation equipment and room furniture.

The property was purchased by the financial agency and then re-rentated to the operator for 48 months.

We have assembled the acquisition invoices, the settlement documents and the latest accounts in advance to validate the eligibility of the goods.

The schedule of rental payments was based on the constabulary seasonality of the catering activity.

The reported operational outcome

The operator restored liquidity immediately available for its working capital requirement.

The equipment remained in place and there was no interruption in the activity of the restaurant.

The initial investment burden was converted into lease payments over four years.
