The equipment need
A French business wanted to release funds from equipment it already owned to support new activities. The financing need exceeded €1.5 million, making ownership and asset scope central to the project.
Leaseworld’s project support
Leaseworld supported a sale and leaseback: equipment was sold to a financing counterparty and leased back for continued use. The transaction involved existing assets rather than a new supplier purchase.
The reported outcome
The source describes additional liquidity while the business continued using its equipment. It does not establish that a sale and leaseback has no debt, accounting or tax consequences.
What changes for a U.S. project?
For a U.S. proposal, assemble an ownership record, asset list, purchase history and information about any liens. Confirm what would be sold, the sale proceeds and the full lease obligation. Do not equate the original purchase price with a current offer.
