There are many good reasons to lease. If you can identify 3 reasons, and feel that leasing is for you, you should get in touch with us.
- A good fit: Lessees can decide what capital object is to be acquired, when it is to be acquired, and - in the case of a manufacturer-independent leasing provider like Deutsche Leasing - from which supplier.
- Planning reliability: The value of the lease instalments and the duration of the leasing agreement are fixed at the start.
- Flexibility: The leasing agreement can determine whether the lessee or the leasing company conducts the negotiations for purchasing the capital object.It can decide who will be responsible for maintenance and servicing. It can outline how the amount of the payment for use is determined, how long the leased object will be available, and how it will be further utilised at the end of the agreement period.
- Liquidity effects: Since the leasing company is responsible for financing the capital investment, there will be no loss of liquidity and/or increase in third-party financing at the time of investment. The cost of the investment is spread across the leasing instalments during the period in which income is generated with the leased object. This follows the pay-as-you-earn principle.
- Balance sheet effects: Since the lessor is the legal owner of the leased object, he carries it on his balance sheet. The lessee does not incur a balance sheet extension. This has positive effects on the equity ratio and is very important, not least from the Basel II point of view.
- Tax effects: Leasing instalments are tax-deductible immediately in full. In the case of financing through equity capital, however, only capital consumption has a tax-reducing effect.
- Efficiency effects:In addition to the pure financing function, Deutsche Leasing offers many supplementary services. They range from the continuous maintenance of leased machinery or medical equipment to the take-over of the entire motor vehicle fleet or IT management. Thus lessees can make efficiency gains through selective outsourcing.
- Innovation effects: Leasing flexibility makes it easier for companies to continuously adapt their machine parks to rapid technological change. The risk of utilising systems that no longer comply with state-of-the-art technology - but are still fit for production - is assumed to a considerable degree by the leasing provider.
- Capacity utilisation effects: Fluctuations in capacity utilisation can be more flexibly managed than is possible when capital goods are purchased.
- Sales effects: In addition to corporate use, leasing is gaining in importance as an instrument for sales promotion. Why? More and more often the providers of high-quality goods and services have to offer their customers optimum financing through a competent partner.
