The equipment need
The company had specialized in cutting and fabricating natural stone for nearly twenty years, with annual revenue of about $573,000 and a team of around six people, serving homeowners, architects and building professionals on interior and exterior projects.
Demand had grown sharply over two fiscal years and the firm order backlog exceeded $287,000, but production capacity had reached its limit, holding back new projects and lengthening lead times.
Management wanted to invest in modern industrial equipment while preserving cash and existing bank credit lines.

The support described in the project
Leaseworld structured an equipment lease with a purchase option covering all three machines in a single file, for a total investment of $115,000–$229,000, so the company dealt with one point of contact.
The term was set at 60 months, aligned with the expected service life of the equipment and the gradual production ramp-up; an adjusted first payment followed by level payments matched the monthly cost to collections from the order book.
The file was presented to leasing companies familiar with stone and materials-processing machine tools, and an agreement was obtained quickly despite the company's size.
The reported operational outcome
The workshop was equipped without a significant down payment and without using its bank borrowing capacity. Production capacity rose sharply, with cutting speeds up to three times faster on standard parts.
Lead times were shortened and firm orders in the backlog were delivered on time. The company was able to open new distribution channels and move into more technical, high-end projects.
