    Strap into the DeLorean, punch it to 88 and go back to a time when your cash flowed freely. When you tackled business opportunities with financial flexibility. When you used that capital to buy equipment your business needed.

    Now, come back to the future. Your equipment is still performing but your purchase has hindered cash flow and you need working capital for your next opportunity.

    Thankfully, you won’t need plutonium to reach your previous levels of cash flow. Instead, you can use an innovative form of financing known as a sale-leaseback.

    A sale-leaseback can turn your existing equipment into liquid assets, making immediate capital available for other investments or upgrades. It also offers competitive financing rates and eliminates some of the risks of ownership.
