The equipment need
The company upcycles by-products from the food industry and needed to scale up its processing method to industrial production.
Its founders were looking for a leasing company able to finance production equipment for a business model that was still young.
Paying for the line itself would have consumed the equity needed for sales development and hiring.
- By-product processing line
- Drying and grinding equipment
- Packaging equipment
- Quality control peripherals
The support described in the project
Leaseworld structured an equipment lease with a purchase option covering the processing line and its peripheral equipment.
The file was presented to financing partners experienced with circular-economy industrial projects.
It highlighted the resale value of the equipment and the contracted nature of the company's sales outlets.
Payments were designed to follow the gradual ramp-up of production.
The reported operational outcome
The company installed its production equipment without drawing on its equity.
Financing the equipment separately from operations clarified its balance sheet structure.
The processing capacity put in place allowed it to deliver the first volumes contracted with the food industry.
