Learn English – What do you call someone who uses equipment made by someone else to run a business

word-request

Suppose that I acquired the rights to run a little booth in a theme park for selling ice creams to kids. I cannot run my business if I don't have the machine that makes ice cream, so I buy one of these machines and start earning money.

I am not the "manufacturer" of the machine, I probably got it from a "reseller". What word describes the fact that I use this machine to run my business? I am looking for more specific word that "final user". (I am looking for the equivalent of the French word "exploitant", if this helps)

Best Answer

The final owner of any product is usually the "end user".
