The equipment need
The owner of a single-member company had built up a set of production equipment paid for in full from the company's own funds.
That tied-up capital was straining cash flow at a time when the order book required supplier advances and raw material purchases.
The owner wanted to turn the equipment's value into cash while continuing to use the machines every day.
The first question was which documents the transaction would require, because the process was unfamiliar.
- Production equipment already owned
- Tooling and related equipment
- In-house material handling equipment
The support described in the project
Leaseworld provided the list of required documents in the first exchange: purchase invoices, proof of ownership, recent financial statements and a cash-flow forecast.
The equipment was appraised at market value, purchased by the financing company and immediately leased back to the business.
Leaseworld set the lease payments over 48 months so the monthly cost could be covered by the margin on current orders.
An end-of-term purchase option allowed the company to regain full ownership of its equipment.
The reported operational outcome
The company received an amount in the range shown in the project budget, corresponding to the value of its equipment.
Production was never interrupted: the machines stayed on site and in use throughout the transaction.
The cash raised was used to buy the raw materials needed for the order book.
The owner had the full document list from the first exchange, which avoided the usual back-and-forth.
