The equipment need

The industrial company wanted to invest in a production machine tool, in this case a three-axis digitally controlled milling machine of manufacture.

This investment, amounting to between $115,000–$229,000excluding taxes, is a visit to internalize partly outsourced machining operations.

The machine was designed to increase the speed and reliability of the parts produced in series.

Capital financing would have mobilized a significant share of the available liquidity, at the expense of the need for working capital.

The company was therefore seeking financing covering the entire acquisition price, without any initial contribution.

The support described in the project

We have structured an equipment lease covering 100% of the machine's tax-free amount.

The dossier was presented to the most active institutions on the financing of machine tools, where the resale value of the asset is a solid guarantee.

The release of the funds was arranged directly with the manufacturer, according to his manufacturing and delivery schedule.

A low-value purchase option at the end of the contract was negotiated, so that the company would retain the machine at the end of the 60-month period.

The reported operational outcome

The workshop was equipped with no capital injections and no use of existing banking lines.

Lease payments are covered by the margin gain resulting from the internalisation of previously outsourced machining operations.

Production capacity was increased without depressing the need for working capital.

The company retains its leveraged liquidity to finance the growth of its orders.
