The equipment need
A dealer-installer specializing in heavy kitchen equipment for cafes, hotels and restaurants was looking for a financial partner for its customer quotes.
Its food service customers commit to large equipment budgets that they struggle to pay in cash on delivery.
The lack of a payment solution attached to its quotes lengthened decision cycles and cost the dealer sales.
The dealer wanted a single point of contact able to handle applications of very different sizes.
Responsiveness was decisive, as competition often came down to speed of response.
- Cooking ranges and stoves
- Walk-in coolers and blast chillers
- Commercial dishwashing systems
- Stainless steel furniture and self-service lines
The support described in the project
Leaseworld opened a vendor (sales) financing program tied directly to the quotes issued by the dealer.
Each customer project is reviewed as a finance lease or a fixed-term equipment rental agreement, depending on the venue's profile and time in business.
Terms vary according to the type of equipment installed.
The dealer has a dedicated account contact who handles the structuring and follow-up of each application.
The dealer is paid once delivery and commissioning of the equipment have been confirmed.
The reported operational outcome
The dealer now presents a monthly payment alongside each quote, shifting the discussion from price to monthly cost.
It is paid in full on delivery, without carrying credit risk on its customers.
The quote-to-order conversion rate improved as the budget hurdle was removed.
Financed venues equip complete kitchens rather than splitting purchases over several years.
The program applies across the dealer's entire service area, including complex installations.
