The equipment need
The manufacturer had just brought an innovative piece of rail equipment to market, approved for use on the national rail network after three years of development.
Its customers, rail contractors, were reluctant to tie up cash in equipment they were only just discovering.
The company therefore wanted a leasing solution built directly into its sales offer to accelerate its growth.
- Manual rail cable-pulling equipment
- Related accessories and safety equipment
- Operator training and onboarding
The support described in the project
Leaseworld structured a vendor financing program that offers the equipment under an equipment lease with a purchase option during the sales negotiation itself.
Terms were set between 48 and 60 months, in line with the expected service life of the equipment.
The manufacturer is paid in full on delivery, with the commitment carried by the financing institution.
The reported operational outcome
Sales teams can now present a monthly payment rather than a purchase price.
The sales cycle has shortened on deals where the capital budget was the main obstacle.
The manufacturer has secured its cash collection while extending its reach to smaller businesses.
