The equipment need
A SaaS software publisher sold subscriptions exclusively to small and midsize businesses, with no consumer customers.
Its subscriptions cost a few hundred per month under 36-month commitments, so the publisher collected contract value it had already earned only gradually, tying up cash and slowing its growth.
One-time setup fees for technical installation and initial mobile app deployment came on top, and the publisher wanted a partner to finance both components with an explicit schedule of rate factors and terms.

The support described in the project
Leaseworld arranged a rental lease covering the total value of the subscriptions committed over 36 months, plus the setup fees on a case-by-case basis, so the end client made no upfront payment.
Financed files ranged from $1,720 to $5,730 per client, a size that called for a deliberately streamlined review process.
A schedule of rate factors by term was given to the publisher so it could calculate the monthly payment for each configuration, and signing the lease was aligned with signing the subscription, with no extra step for the user.
The reported operational outcome
The publisher now received the value of signed contracts upfront instead of spreading it over three fiscal years, and the freed-up cash directly funded sales efforts and product development.
The risk of nonpayment over the subscription term was transferred to the financing partner.
Client businesses accessed the software and its deployment for a single monthly payment, with no upfront setup fees.
