The equipment need

The company was in the midst of an expansion phase and was seeking to free up financial room for manoeuvre.

It had acquired equipment that had been in circulation for less than a year, tying up a significant part of its cash flow.

Two ways were envisaged: refinance existing leasingback, or directly fund new acquisitions.

The manager wanted to compare the two financing structures objectively before choosing.

  • Production equipment acquired for less than one year
  • New additional equipment

The support described in the project

We retained a sale-leaseback on property acquired for less than a year, the residual value of which remained high.

The transaction converted a fixed asset into immediately available cash.

The equipment remained in operation continuously: only legal ownership has changed.

A second part in leasing has been prepared to accompany the upcoming acquisitions of the growth phase.

The reported operational outcome

The company recovered substantial liquidity without assigning or displacing any equipment.

Funding for the expansion was secured without the use of a new bank line.

The structure now has a reproducible pattern for its next investments.

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.
