The equipment need
A young independent watch manufacturer had bought several CNC machining centers and a used precision lathe with its own funds, and wanted to rebuild its cash through a sale-leaseback.
The file required a careful valuation of machines that had recently been paid for and were partly bought on the used market.
- Benchtop CNC machining centers
- Used precision lathe
The support described in the project
After valuing the equipment, Leaseworld arranged a sale-leaseback on the entire shop fleet over 48 months, with a nominal purchase option at the end of the lease.
The reported operational outcome
The manufacturer recovered its initial outlay while keeping use of its machines to support its growth.
