The equipment need
A company was preparing to open a building materials store and needed a forklift to handle heavy loads from day one. With the opening budget already heavily committed, a cash purchase would have strained startup cash.
- Forklift
The support described in the project
Leaseworld arranged financing for the forklift through an equipment lease with a purchase option over 48 to 60 months. The file was put together quickly so the equipment would be available for the store opening, and payments were matched to the business's startup plan.
The reported operational outcome
The store opened with a working forklift without tying up capital, keeping cash available for inventory and store fit-out. The purchase option at the end of the lease leaves the company free to keep or replace the equipment.
