Why do some leasing companies reject Private Equity firms?
Sometimes it comes down to their business and risk strategy!
Recently, we received a clear statement from a highly reputable and very capable leasing company that they are unfortunately not available for financings that are broadly associated with a Private Equity investor.
We are very grateful for such clear statements, as it is our core competency to know which leasing partner is best suited for which clients.
We firmly believe that leasing offers many advantages for PE portfolio companies and that these companies represent the best customer group for leasing companies in terms of their risk/reward profile.
However, not every leasing company shares this view yet.
What matters more for our clients is that we count many leasing companies — those who have recognized the advantages of PE firms — among our partners.
This allows us to achieve material benefits for every PE company!
#LeasingPilot knows both sides:
🔹 the logic of LBO structures, the covenants of LMA agreements, the tax advantages on the client side, as well as
🔹 the strategy and requirements of risk assessment and contract processing at leasing companies.
We approach the right, knowledgeable financing partners and support the financing from structuring through to execution.
The result:
👉 Our PE clients fully utilize the leasing basket of their financing agreements — and save an average of 15–35% in financing costs for new lease financings compared to the Term Loan A or Revolving Credit Facility (RCF).
LBOs subject to the interest barrier rule achieve even higher savings!
👉 Are you a CFO or Treasurer of an LBO?
Then we should talk!
