The equipment need

The company sold, installed and maintained air conditioning equipment for commercial premises: offices, retail stores and spaces open to the public.

Its customers, often small and midsize organizations, hesitated at an investment payable in full on delivery.

Negotiations often ended with the project postponed or the scope of the installation reduced.

The company wanted to offer monthly payments without carrying the credit risk itself or straining its working capital.

It also wanted to add value to its maintenance service by building it into the offer rather than billing it separately each year.

The support described in the project

Leaseworld built a vendor financing program that the company presents directly to its customers at the quote stage.

Each installation is financed under a lease over 36 to 60 months, chosen according to the type of equipment and the customer's profile.

The monthly payment covers the equipment, installation and maintenance contract, giving the end customer a single, predictable cost.

Leaseworld provided a simple payment schedule that sales reps can use in meetings to quote a monthly payment from the first visit.

The financing institution pays the installer at commissioning, while credit analysis and collections remain with the financing partner.

The reported operational outcome

The company was able to present a monthly price rather than a total amount, which unlocked deals that had been on hold.

Payment at commissioning eliminated payment delays and secured cash flow on every job.

Uptake of the maintenance contract rose markedly, since the service is included in the monthly payment.

The average deal size increased, as customers more readily accepted properly sized equipment.

The program is now used regularly on commercial air conditioning projects.
