Operating Lease

Cut your costs and improve cashflow

An Operating Lease facility can help your business free up its working capital and plan your finances, by providing off balance sheet funding and rentals based on the planned economic use, rather than the life of the asset. You receive full use of an asset while paying a rental during the agreed period.

  • Funding for moveable assets
  • Based on planned economic use, rather than the life of the asset
  • Cashflow relief – no heavy initial outlay and fixed repayments help budget planning
