Executive Summary

A filling machine is a capital asset, and how you finance it changes cash flow and risk as much as the price. This guide compares LC, leasing and grants so B2B buyers can fund a Combiblock without strangling working capital.

The Main Options

Letter of Credit (LC) secures the supplier against payment risk; leasing spreads cost and preserves cash; grants/incentives (local industry, export credit) can cut effective CAPEX.

Matching to buyer

LC at sight suits straightforward imports; leasing suits cash-tight startups; a water production line co-located with incentives benefits most.

Option Comparison

Option Cash impact Best for
LC Milestone payments Standard imports
Leasing Low upfront Cash-tight buyers
