The equipment need

A company in formation planned to install laundry modules in the parking lots of large supermarket chains.

Two contracts were being signed, and the business plan called for five new sites a year over the following three fiscal years.

Because each module is a heavy investment, a finance lease was essential to keep up that pace.

  • Automated laundry modules in five formats
  • Commercial washers and dryers
  • Remote payment and monitoring systems

The support described in the project

Leaseworld structured a finance lease covering the five module formats, chosen according to store size.

The structure was designed as a facility that could be drawn on site by site rather than as a single one-off application.

The term was matched to the economic useful life of the washing equipment.

The reported operational outcome

The first sites could be launched as soon as the location contracts were signed.

The operator is building out its network without tying up equity in each module.

Lease payments are covered by the revenue each site generates once it has ramped up.

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.
