BTI’s Asset-as-a-Service offering allows companies to access critical assets without the need for significant upfront investment.

Instead of purchasing these assets outright, BTI acquires and retains ownership, providing clients with usage access through a flexible, utilization-based model. This solution helps reduce, improve, and optimize—while allowing businesses to remain agile and focused on their core operations.

In many cases, ongoing support, maintenance, and upgrades are included, delivering a cost-effective and low-risk pathway to scaling operations with minimal operational disruption.

Asset Ownership for Large Projects

Through our Asset Ownership solution, BTI fully capitalizes and owns fixed assets on its balance sheet for the duration of large-scale projects. Companies benefit by outsourcing capital expenditures, paying a service fee for the use of the asset.

Key features include:

BTI retains asset ownership through construction and production phases until end of project (EOP)
The asset typically resides at the client’s site and is operated by client personnel
The model is fully scalable and suited to global-intensive projects
This structure is especially valuable for organizations seeking to offload while maintaining operational control over physical assets.

BTI also offers a comprehensive CapEx procurement and management solution.
