Financing via external partners

Leasing or installment plan - which suits you better?

You want to invest - but remain flexible? No problem! We offer various financing models to suit your business. Two of them are particularly popular: leasing and installment plan. But what's the difference?

 

Leasing - stay flexible and take pressure off the balance sheet

With leasing, the machine remains the property of the lessor - you simply use it for a monthly installment. This has several advantages:

• No balance sheet risk: The machine does not appear on your balance sheet - this improves your equity ratio.

• Simple for tax purposes: the leasing installment is fully deductible as a business expense.

• Planning security: The term is based on the usual amortization period.

• Flexibility: After the term, you can take over the machine, lease it on or return it.

• Purchase possible at the end: Our contracts are usually full amortization leases - this means that you can take over the machine at the end of the term for a small residual value.

Ideal for anyone who wants cost transparency and a low balance sheet burden - and still wants to secure ownership in the end.

 

Installment plan - property in installments

With installment plan, you own the machine right from the start - you simply pay for it in monthly installments. That means

• Immediately your property (with retention of title): You become the direct beneficial owner.

• Balance sheet effect: The machine appears on your balance sheet, which increases the balance sheet total.

• Tax advantage: Special depreciation is possible - this can save taxes.

• Freely selectable term: You decide how long you want to pay.

• In the end, it's yours: automatic transfer of ownership after the last installment.

Perfect for anyone looking for long-term ownership and scope for tax planning.

Yes - most of our models are full amortization leases. This means that you can take over the machine at the end of the term for a small residual value.

---

 

What terms are possible?

Usually between 24 and 60 months. Shorter (from 12 months) or longer terms (up to a maximum of 72 months) are generally possible, but less common. We will be happy to advise you on the right solution.

---

 

Can I return or sell the machine during the leasing period?

No - the machine remains the property of the leasing company during the term. A return or sale by you is not intended.

---

 

Is an early redemption possible?

In principle, yes - however, an early repayment penalty may apply. You should therefore plan the desired term carefully in advance.

---

 

Do the installments continue in winter?

Yes - the rates apply all year round, regardless of the season or turnover. Our tip: Plan conservatively and choose a slightly longer term with lower rates.

What requirements do I have to fulfill for financing?

As a rule, your business should have been in existence for at least two years. Important: No negative creditworthiness features (e.g. Schufa entries), no negative equity or balance sheet over-indebtedness. After all, leasing partners also want to be on the safe side.
