Future

One reason for this is undoubtedly Basel II: As investments with leasing are not only off-balance for the lessee and ease the strain on equity but also create greater scope for investments, leasing has a positive impact on rating. This is why leasing is becoming ever more important in the funding mix especially for small-to-medium-sized businesses. The marked financing restraint of many banks is also instrumental in this process. Because small-to-medium-sized companies in particular mostly have a low level of equity, the leasing models for future investments that maintain liquidity are the obvious choice.

Furthermore, you will always be state-of-the-art with leasing. For example, in the IT sector, the breakneck speed of changing generations in hardware and software represent a financial burden that should not be underestimated when companies purchase rather than lease hardware and software. The comprehensive range of services offered by Deutsche Leasing also allow more streamlined work processes so you can concentrate on your core competence. Companies can free their administration from secondary but time-consuming tasks for example by using our fleet management.

Shaping the future together

You can depend on Deutsche Leasing now and in future:

• We build on long-term customer relationships. We identify ourselves with your ideas and projects, and accompany you through to your goal. We are reliable partners and assume responsibility ourselves.
  
• We think and work with foresight. We want to find the best solutions for the future already today.
  
• Together we set new standards for the future. The solutions we develop with our partners open up a host of new opportunities. This is only possible with professional idea management where all parties involved need free room for manoeuvre. Creativity and input from you and from us are central to successful joint progress.
  

The future will see us persistently following our course of specialisation, standardisation and internationalisation. In an increasingly global economy, we wish to provide our business partners, also outside Germany, with the customary effective service and Deutsche Leasing quality, and this is why we have established subsidiaries and interests in eleven European countries.

The leasing market as a whole will continue to develop. And we will continue to expand our services accordingly covering every aspect of investment: developing a more comprehensive consulting service and more opportunities for full-service leasing. Our plan is to give savings bank customers too the opportunity of taking even more advantage of our competence. We will intensify our cooperation with the Sparkassen.
