The equipment need

A growing brand wanted to offer its future franchisees a lease for all the equipment needed to open a location.

The scope covered furniture, equipment, store fixtures, air conditioning and in-store sound systems.

The brand was weighing a direct introduction of franchisees to a lessor against creating its own captive finance company.

  • Furniture
  • Store fixtures
  • Air conditioning
  • Sound systems

The support described in the project

Leaseworld reviewed both options and structured a vendor financing program suited to the network's rollout.

Each franchisee can obtain a lease covering all of its opening equipment, reviewed through a standardized process.

The reported operational outcome

Future franchisees can open a location without a large equipment down payment.

The program speeds up the network's rollout by removing the upfront financing barrier.

The brand has a repeatable program for every new opening.
