Don’t tie up your capital
Leasing allows you to acquire capital goods quickly, while maintaining uninterrupted liquidity and payment flows.
Unlike investment loans, leasing offers 100% financing of your equipment. If you were to purchase the equipment yourself, you would have to prefinance the VAT. With leasing, the VAT is spread out over the rental fees.
Leasing increases a company’s financial scope as it can be geared to the expected cash flow generated by the investment. It is a flexible credit formula that doesn’t require special guarantees, since the equipment remains the property of the lessor. Furthermore, it doesn’t affect your credit lines, which can still be used for other purposes.
You can choose between ‘on-balance-sheet’ and ‘off-balance-sheet’ leasing. In the case of off–balance-sheet leasing the transaction is booked in the Profit and Loss account, where the leasing invoices are booked as charges. You do not have to depreciate the asset, which has a positive impact on the structure of your balance sheet.
