The equipment need
The company had found two used 2018 machines at a dealer: a wheeled excavator and a mini excavator for tight-access work.
Used equipment sells quickly, so the company needed to confirm its purchase without waiting several weeks for a financing answer.
Paying cash for both machines would have reduced the flexibility needed to fund ongoing jobs, and the owner wanted to own the machines eventually, since they still had long service lives ahead.

The support described in the project
Leaseworld arranged an equipment lease with a purchase option covering both machines in a single contract, avoiding a duplicate review.
The machines' age was documented with maintenance records and hour-meter readings, key factors when financing used equipment.
The 48-month term was set to the machines' estimated remaining service life, and the end-of-term purchase option was set at a nominal value so the company would own the equipment at maturity.
The reported operational outcome
Both machines were put into service without a significant upfront payment, keeping cash available for operations.
The mini excavator opened up tight-access jobs that had been out of reach, broadening the company's range of work.
