The equipment need

The publisher sold business software to its clients, billed in a single payment at signing.

This upfront payment slowed sales cycles with smaller businesses.

The publisher was looking for a way to finance intangible assets that would work for moderate individual deal sizes.

The goal was to keep receiving payment upfront while offering clients installment payments.

  • Software licenses
  • Configuration and deployment
  • User training
  • Application maintenance

The support described in the project

Leaseworld arranged a 36-month lease covering the licenses and related services.

Configuration, deployment and user training were included in the same contract.

The program was designed for intangible assets, with a streamlined review process for smaller applications.

The publisher is paid as soon as the software goes live, without waiting for the client's payment schedule.

The reported operational outcome

The publisher's clients access the software for a monthly payment rather than an upfront investment.

The publisher is paid in full on delivery and carries no collection risk.

Sales cycles have shortened with smaller businesses.

The program covers the entire project, including licenses and services.
