The equipment need
An industrial business contacted us to study the installation of a sale-leaseback on one of his production machines.
The equipment had been acquired on equity and tied up a significant balance sheet value without generating liquidity.
The company sought to provide liquidity to finance its operations without ceding or interrupting its production tool.
A new application for a bank competition was not the preferred route given the commitments already in place.
- Production machine already owned by the company
The support described in the project
We had the machine evaluated in order to establish its market value and the total financial costs of the business.
The equipment was purchased by the financial institution and then re-rented to the company under a lease agreement.
The duration was set at 48 months to remain consistent with the residual life of the equipment.
The company has maintained the permanent use of its machine throughout the contract.
A purchase option at the end of the contract allows him to regain full ownership of the equipment.
The reported operational outcome
The proceeds of the sale were paid to the company and directly increased its liquidity.
Production has not been interrupted, as the machine has never left the workshop.
The transaction was completed without any additional guarantee on the company's other assets.
Applying the experience to a new project
