Business customers

Constructing the right financial solution for major equipment acquisitions or leasebacks of existing assets requires an appreciation not just of the best structure and optimal finance providers, but also of the equipment itself, its future resale
value and likely means of disposition.

That’s why for companies investing in equipment with a
value exceeding 5m*, TEAM is uniquely positioned to tailor
the most efficient financial solution, based on:
  Detailed expertise in operating lease structures
  A creative approach to structuring, linked to strong client focus
  Intimate knowledge of the European leasing industry and cross-border transactions
  Market leading equipment management skills developed over 35 years
  Extraordinary tenacity to get the job done
 

Track record of developing cross-border and other complex solutions where traditional and nationally focussed financial institutions are less able to support customer requirements

 

We are able to match your requirements directly with the right structure, the right source of finance and transaction partners, even when there is not a perceived secondary market for the equipment.

TEAM is able to operate as a transaction arranger or in an advisory role, as an extension of your corporate finance function.

*Note: Diversified assets, excluding real estate, commercial aircraft, standard commercial vehicles and cars.

Vendor Finance Frameworks and Contingent Liability Reduction

Many equipment manufacturers develop captive or vendor finance operations to assist in the sale of equipment. Often, buybacks are considered a necessary part of these programmes, resulting in the recognition of a growing and material contingent liability in the company’s accounts.

Thanks to our substantial experience of developing and managing these types of programme, often on a cross-border basis, TEAM is able to assist with the reduction of vendor/manufacturer contingent liabilities and optimisation of sales recognition.

After two large banking organisations had failed to provide a major European manufacturer of automotive components with the UK GAAP conforming operating lease structure required by their auditors, the Group Finance Director turned to TEAM for assistance.

Working closely with a well-established leasing organisation for the financing of this major investment in France, TEAM was able to structure the lease with the appropriate level of risk transfer to satisfy auditor requirements.

As a result, the transaction was completed and the customer has since worked with TEAM on a similar structure to fund a further strategic investment in Belgium.

Impressed by the operating lease structures developed by TEAM, the customer’s auditors have subsequently recommended TEAM to another of their clients, resulting in a sizeable UK transaction.
