Understand the asset
Technical specification, condition, residual value, supplier warranties and an appropriate independent valuation inform the structure.
Plant, Machinery & Marine
Equipment Finance & Leasing
Acquisition finance and lease structures considered against the asset's operating role and useful life.
Understanding The Mandate
Which equipment will be financed, how will it be used, and who carries its maintenance and operating obligations?
Investment Banking & Capital Raising
Equipment finance begins with the productive purpose of an asset. A factory machine, construction fleet, processing line or marine vessel generates value in a different way from the property that houses it. The funding arrangement needs to recognise how the equipment is procured, operated, insured, maintained and eventually replaced.
AFII's published equipment-finance practice has discussed industrial plant, energy equipment, mining systems, telecommunications and infrastructure machinery, including dry- and wet-lease concepts. Depending on asset type and location, a mandate may examine secured acquisition debt, a leasing solution, export credit support or refinancing. Published indicative rates and ratios are historical and cannot be treated as current quotes.
The Issues That MatterWhat The Structure
What The Structure
Needs To Address.
Each mandate needs a different balance of structure, commercial judgement and execution. These themes explain the practical issues that usually shape the work.
Match cash flow to use
Lease payments or debt service should be assessed in relation to the output, utilisation and operating cash generated by the business.
Define operating responsibilities
Insurance, maintenance, crew, licensing and end-of-term obligations differ by asset and by lease type. A marine or aviation lease should not be assumed to operate like an ordinary machinery loan.

Underlying Facts.
Nothing replaces the review of contracts, financial information and the particular circumstances of the borrower, project or investment. Each engagement remains specific to the transaction, counterparties and jurisdiction involved.
