Leasing &
Sale-and-Lease-back

For us, leasing is more than just a standard Investment finance product. We use it in a targeted and creative way – from traditional capital goods financing and the release of tied-up capital to high-volume Export finance transactions backed by ECA guarantees.

Two classic applications

Invest or release capital

Leasing can enable new investments or make capital that is already tied up available again. The right structure depends on the asset, its use, and the financing goal.

Investment goods leasing

New investment

Machinery, production facilities, commercial and operational properties or vehicle fleets are financed via leasing instead of conventional credit – predictable instalments instead of tied-up equity capital.

Sale-and-Lease-back

Release capital

Existing plants, machinery or properties are sold to a leasing provider and simultaneously leased back. You continue to use the asset unchanged, and the capital tied up becomes available again immediately.

More than classic leasing

A creatively used instrument

We do not view leasing solely in the traditional sense: backed by ECA guarantees, we also use this instrument to arrange large volumes of Export finance through our partners.

No two projects are the same – which is why we examine for every situation whether and how leasing can be specifically integrated into the overall financing structure.

Explained concretely

How Sale-and-Lease-back works

Four steps to turn tied-up capital back into available liquidity.

01

Rate object

Machine, plant, or property is valued at market price.

02

Select landlord

We are specifically targeting leasing companies whose focus aligns with the property.

03

Sale and leaseback

The item is sold and immediately leased back under the same contract.

04

Capital available

The sales proceeds are immediately available for other ventures – usage continues unchanged.

Not every leasing company is suitable for every property – we know the focus of different providers and select strategically.

When leasing is the better choice

Four good reasons

Leasing can preserve financing flexibility, release liquidity, and sensibly complement the overall structure of a financing package.

Balance sheet

Protect the balance sheet

Financing investments without further burdening the balance sheet structure – important for further financing flexibility.

Liquidity

Release capital

Make capital tied up in Sale-and-Lease-back available for other projects without having to give up the property itself.

Flexibility

Stay flexible

Adjust terms and rates to the useful life and cash flow of the asset, rather than settling for rigid loan terms.

Supplement

Top up credit

Using leasing as a building block alongside traditional credit financing to expand the overall available financing framework.

Success as a Common Measure

Our brokerage fee is contingent upon the successful arrangement of financing. If no financing is arranged, no brokerage fee is payable. Therefore, we carefully assess every project and only accept mandates where we see a realistic financing prospect.
