The equipment need
The founder of a company still in formation needed to acquire a business software license before launching operations.
The project also included hosting for the software and a company website.
A deposit had already been paid to the software publisher, and the balance was a significant investment for a business with no financial history.
The founder wanted to preserve cash during the startup phase, until the business generated its first revenue.
- Business software license
- Software hosting services
- Company website
The support described in the project
Leaseworld reviewed the application based on the 5-year business forecast, the license agreement, the publisher's invoice and the draft articles of incorporation.
The license, hosting and website were combined into a single lease.
The deposit already paid was factored into the structure so that the financing covered only the remaining balance.
A deferral on the first 6 payments was arranged to support the new company's ramp-up.
The reported operational outcome
The company had its business software available as soon as it was registered, without using its own equity for the software investment.
The payment deferral gave the founder time to sign the first customer contracts before carrying the cost of the financing.
Payments matched to the forecast gave full visibility on the cost of the software for the entire term of the contract.
