Over 120 Leasing Companies in Germany -
Which one is strategically and commercially the right fit for your business?

The leasing market is highly opaque 👉 and on multiple levels at that. For Treasury managers and CFOs, this makes it nearly impossible to achieve the optimal outcome without deep product and market expertise.

In practice, the challenges manifest at three key points:

🔹 Market Overview: Which of the 120 active leasing companies actually finances your specific assets at the desired volume? Does the company match your current business situation – Investment Grade, Non-Investment Grade, PE-backed LBO, or a turnaround under IDW S6 proceedings? Without this clear target, you're simply negotiating at the wrong table and wasting valuable time.

🔹 Calculation & Contractual Terms: Leasing agreements follow no uniform standard like traditional loan agreements, bank contracts, or SynLoans under LMA standards. Tricky clauses – such as automatic renewals or hidden costs upon asset return – typically only come to light when it's too late. Furthermore, the complete, present-value calculation of a lease financing is inherently complex.

🔹 Execution: Consider, for example, a Sale & Leaseback of a self-constructed, complex production facility. This is not standard business. Anyone who has attempted such a project knows how quickly non-sales departments within leasing companies can bring a financing deal to a complete standstill.

This is precisely where our advisory services as LeasingPilot become particularly valuable. We support companies holistically.
