The equipment need
One company had purchased very low-use forest demonstration equipment at auction, at a price well below its nine-fold value.
After the purchase was made out of its own funds, it wished to alleviate its liquidity.
- Used forest equipment (demonstration model)
The support described in the project
We set up a leasing-back operation on this forestry equipment, relying on the favourable lag between the price paid and the actual value of the equipment.
Refinancing has resulted in the recovery of a significant part of the tied-up capital.
The reported operational outcome
The company has restored its liquidity while maintaining the use of its forestry equipment.
