The equipment need
A manufacturer growing its export business saw its working capital needs rise with longer payment terms and higher volumes.
It owned several machining centers on its balance sheet and wanted to unlock their value without giving up its production equipment.
- Machining center
The support described in the project
Leaseworld structured a sale-leaseback on one of its machining centers: the machine was sold to a financing partner and then leased back to the company, which kept using it every day.
The transaction was calibrated to release cash immediately, with lease payments suited to the operating cycle.
The reported operational outcome
The cash released funded the working capital needs tied to export growth.
The machine stayed in production in the shop with no interruption to operations.
