The equipment need
A manufacturer contacted Leaseworld to explore a sale-leaseback on one of its production machines.
The machine had been paid for out of the company's own funds and represented significant value on its balance sheet without generating any cash.
The company wanted to raise cash for its operations without selling the machine outright or stopping production.
Another bank credit request was not its preferred route, given the commitments already in place.
- Production machine already owned by the company
The support described in the project
Leaseworld had the machine appraised to establish its market value and the amount the transaction could cover.
The financing institution bought the machine and leased it back to the company under a sale-leaseback agreement.
The term was set at 48 months, consistent with the machine's remaining service life.
The company kept full use of the machine throughout the contract.
An end-of-term purchase option allows it to regain full ownership of the equipment.
The reported operational outcome
The sale proceeds were paid to the company and went straight into its cash position.
Production was never interrupted: the machine did not leave the shop floor.
No additional collateral on the company's other assets was required.
