EQUIPMENT NEED. A key investment for a Florida peanut farmer was to avoid labor shortages and find savings by updating equipment to an automated sorting system including shakers and size graders with a complete package offer at $402,750 including freight costs.

THE SOLUTION. As a nonbank lending option, Northland Capital provided a more flexible solution. The complete package included the 50% order deposit to the equipment manufacturer. Allowing the preservation of the customer’s working capital and commencing a 60 month lease contract four months later at delivery.

THE SAVINGS. The labor savings more than off-set their monthly payment, giving the farmer immediate positive cash flow return on the equipment acquisition.
