Financing of an agri-food co-product development line

The equipment need

The company valued co-products from the agri-food industry and had to industrialize its processing process.

Its founders were looking for a leasing company capable of financing a production tool on an economic model still young.

The self-financing of the line would have consumed the capital necessary for commercial development and recruitment.

• Co-product processing line
• Drying and grinding equipment
• Packaging equipment
• Quality control devices

The support described in the project

We have structured an equipment lease covering the processing line and its peripheral equipment.

The financing structure was presented to financial partners who were used to industrial projects with circular economies.

The application highlighted the resale value of the equipment and the contractual nature of the company's outlets.

The rental payments were built to accompany the gradual increase in production.

The reported operational outcome

The company was able to install its production tool without entering its own funds.

With the processing capacity in place, the first volumes contracted with the agri-food industry were honoured.

Applying the experience to a new project

Use this case to identify the equipment, timing and ownership questions relevant to your own investment. The historical scope and term are specific to the project described. For a new U.S. project, identify the contracting business, installation state, supplier quote and preferred use period; available structures require a separate assessment.
