Choose a practical and flexible manner of financing though financial leasing, which means that you have the right to use and operate the Leasing Subject for the duration of the agreement. While you are paying for the Leasing Subject in instalments, you generate profit from its use.
During the repayment period, as a Lessee, you have economic rights over the Leasing Subject, while the Lessor remains the legal owner.
With the repayment of the final instalment and transfer of ownership, you become the owner of the Leasing Subject.
Financial leasing is a transaction in which the Lessor transfers the authorisations to hold and use the Leasing Subject for the contracted period to the Lessee, and the Lessee pays the agreed fee in instalments. Leasing is one of the methods of financing and investment in fixed assets for a particular object and it is an alternative to own funds and bank loans.

- Financing is always approved for a particular object
- The procurement of the asset is executed by the Lessor, and not the Lessee
