Practical examples for the internationalisation of companies

International expansion: our practical examples

Medium-sized companies go global: the international expansion of medium-sized companies is no longer the exception, but the rule. There’s more demand for their products and services in global markets than ever before. For more than 25 years, Deutsche Leasing has supported business activities around the world – now in more than 20 countries. Innovative financing solutions, tailored lease structures and local expertise in the target market are everything when it comes to direct investment and sales financing, as legal and tax issues, accounting regulations, language and culture all play a key role in success. Our services are suitable for manufacturers and dealers as well as German, Austrian and Swiss companies which pursue direct investment. With the German Desk, Austrian Desk and Swiss Desk, Deutsche Leasing offers businesses throughout these countries global financing solutions.

International expansion: examples of direct investment

Differences in regulations, taxes and culture are the biggest challenges when it comes to expanding a company internationally. We’re represented in all relevant global markets with local experts. Our examples show how they have worked with our customers to implement projects.

Deutsche Leasing supports German companies in the USA

Challenges in the US as a target market

When it comes to expanding medium-sized companies internationally, the US is and will always be one of the most attractive markets for direct investment and sales financing. The associated challenges are primarily financial and cultural in nature. Credit history, in particular, is one of the most demanding aspects. Newcomers to the US market don’t have the necessary transactions there for a credit score, which is used to demonstrate a borrower’s creditworthiness throughout the country. Because banks grant their loans on the basis of this credit history, companies don’t have any access to financing. Financing through Deutsche Leasing establishes this credit history, allowing the company to operate independently as a borrower in the US after a certain period of time.
