The equipment need
The operator had a 14-ton heavy-duty recovery vehicle, which was put into operation in 2019 and was approximately 70,000 kilometres long.
This equipment was financed by leasing from a bank and came at the end of the contract, with a residual balance limited to its market value.
The value of a new equivalent vehicle far exceeded the remaining net book value, which showed an unexploited latent surplus value.
The company also supported the repayment of a State-guaranteed loan of less than $57,300, the monthly maturities of which weighed heavily on its operations.
The objective was therefore twofold: to recover liquidity and reduce the weight of short-term maturity without yielding the work tool.

The support described in the project
We have retained the sale-leaseback, the only mechanism to monetize an asset already held while maintaining daily use.
The vehicle has been valued from the market references of the occasion, keeping its age, mileage and entry status in the same way.
The balance of the original leasing contract was closed into the transaction, which resulted in the release of the assets from any previous commitments.
The refinanced amount, between $57,300–$115,000, was set up over a period of 36 months with linear lease payments aligned on the actual repayment capacity of the business.
The reported operational outcome
The company cashed in immediate cash while continuing to operate its troubleshooting vehicle without interruption.
The early repayment of the State-guaranteed loan has eliminated a high monthly maturity and restored a balance of liquidity month after month.
The replacement of a leasing payment with a short-term bank debt increased the maturity of the financing and smoothed the burden over three years.
The operator has regained sufficient flexibility to consider the gradual renewal of its fleet.
