The equipment need

A manufacturer had recently paid cash for new production equipment, using a significant share of its cash.

It wanted to rebuild its cash to support a growing order book.

  • Recently purchased industrial equipment

The support described in the project

Because the equipment was recent, it could be refinanced at a value close to its purchase price, based on the original invoices.

Leaseworld arranged a sale-leaseback: the equipment was sold and immediately leased back to the company, which kept using it without interruption.

The reported operational outcome

The company recovered most of the capital it had invested and spread the cost over the equipment's actual period of use.
