The equipment need

An industrial SME wanted to preserve its banking capacity and diversify its sources of financing.

It owns a production tool in its own right, the value of which could be mobilized without yielding the use of the equipment.

The aim was to provide liquidity to support the development of the business, without resorting to a traditional bank loan.

  • Industrial production tool

The support described in the project

We have structured a Sale-leaseback operation covering part of the industrial tool, for an amount of between $57,300–$115,000.

The equipment was transferred to a financial institution and immediately taken over as leasing, without any interruption of production.

The contract was aligned over 48 months, with an option to buy the equipment at the end of the period.

The reported operational outcome

The company has restored its liquidity while maintaining the full use of its production tool.

Its sources of funding have been diversified, strengthening the overall financial strength of the structure.
