Long-term financing & a long-term business partnership...
Lighten the financing burdens that investment outlays impose on your business with financial (closed-end) leasing! With the long-term funding that financial leasing provides, you acquire the capital goods and equipment you need by paying rent on them.

Financial leasing offers financing solutions that are particularly suitable in helping small to medium-sized enterprises to satisfy their needs for long-term funding. Instead of buying capital goods, machinery, and equipment outright, you lease them instead.

Financial Leasing: The Advantages

  • Provides up to 100% financing
  • Has no impact on your ability to borrow
  • Does not eat up your shareholders' equity
  • Lets you book rent payments directly as expenses
  • Reduces costs thanks to more favorable VAT rates
  • Enables you to budget more soundly
  • Is an excellent alternative to other forms of long-term financing
  • Qualifies for the investment tax allowance
  • Gives you the option of buying the leased goods at their residual value at the end of the leasing period.

What is leasing?
In Turkey, leasing is defined in the Financial Leasing Act (Statute 3226) as "a contractual agreement in which the lessor purchases or otherwise acquires from a third party the ownership of properties as demanded and chosen by the lessee and proposes to turn that ownership over to the lessee against payment of rent on condition that the lessee shall have full benefit of the properties and that the agreement shall not be terminated for a specified period of time."

In fact just about any movable and immovable property can be leased although intangible assets such as patent rights and other forms of intellectual property, industrial know-how, and software cannot be. Another requirement for leasing is that the asset be independent (self-contained) and depreciable. For this reason, raw materials and intermediary goods that lose all their attributes when used because they are incorporated into something else cannot be the subject of a leasing agreement.
