The equipment need

A company needed a fleet of containers to grow its storage and logistics business.

It wanted to preserve its cash and avoid using its usual bank credit lines for this investment.

Containers are unusual assets that many traditional lenders hesitate to finance.

  • Shipping containers for storage
  • Fitted containers

The support described in the project

Leaseworld arranged a 60-month equipment lease covering the entire container fleet, including transport and fit-out costs.

The strong resale value of the containers was highlighted to the financing partner to obtain suitable terms.

The end-of-term purchase option was set at a low residual value so the company could keep the assets.

The reported operational outcome

The company deployed its container fleet without an upfront payment.

The storage business was able to start as soon as the first containers were delivered.
