The equipment need
The company wanted to acquire a machine tool dedicated to cutting and shaping ceramic stoneware to produce itself margin and plinths.
The investment represented several months of profit and its own funds financing would have provided the necessary liquidity for the purchase of raw material.
The equipment, which was very specific, had to be amortised over a period consistent with its actual duration of operation and not on a short bank horizon.
- Ceramic sandstone cutting machine tool
- Forming unit for bobbins and plinths
- Handling and evacuation devices
The support described in the project
We have retained the lease over 60 months, with option of purchase at the end of the contract fixed at a residual symbolic value.
The financing covers the entire line, cutting machine, shaping unit and handling devices, in a single contract.
The lease payments were based on the estimated duration of use of the equipment, so as to ensure that the financial burden coincided with the production generated.
The reported operational outcome
The company put the line into operation without initial input and retained its bank borrowing capacity for its other purposes.
The internalisation of cutting and shaping has removed the time limits and the risks associated with subcontracting this stage.
The monthly charge is known and fixed over the duration of the contract, which secures the calculation of the cost price per linear meter.
The purchase option at the end of the contract leaves the company with the choice of keeping the machine or replacing it with a newer model.
