Why Siemens
Vendor Finance?
Drawing on a wealth of funding knowledge we offer
a range of flexible solutions designed to support our
vendor’s sales and enable their customers to acquire
the best equipment for their needs. Our automation
and online digital tools ensure we continually deliver
high speed decisions and processes to our market.
Many of our vendor relationships go back decades which
is testament to our consistency and reliability. As an
experienced lender, our access to available funds and
our position as part of the Siemens Group makes us a
dependable finance partner for equipment vendors.
Flexible financing packages
Our financing packages are tailored to the individual
customer and the technology they’re leasing, enabling our
vendors to offer complete, customised finance solutions.
Technological and financial expertise
Only a financing partner that understands the
technologies being used can develop the appropriate
solutions. Working with us equips our vendors to meet
the needs of their customers without the limitation of
budget constraints.
Entrepreneurial thinking
We use our market expertise to consider the business
opportunities that can arise from an investment.
Our vendors can leverage this knowledge and
offer their customers affordable finance solutions,
allowing them to build long-term relationships.

How does my
company benefit
Our offerings have been designed to be used as a
powerful sales aid to support your business and
should become an integral part of your sales process.
Increase your turnover
The most common barrier to closing a deal is
price. However this is overcome by offering an
affordable alternative to capital expenditure – an
SFS leasing agreement. You will be paid for the
full price of the equipment when the contract is
activated, and the end-user rentals are spread
throughout the lease period. This improves the
opportunity to increase sales, as measured in
both unit volume and value per unit.
Enhance your profitability
Cash price negotiations with the customer can
frequently develop into discount conversations.
Quoting an affordable SFS rental price can
reduce the pressure to reduce prices, thereby
maintaining sell price which ultimately delivers
greater profitability.
Improve your cash flow
By using our leasing products you can reduce
requests for credit terms and the associated
resource needed to follow up. Enjoy simple
administration and immediate payments.
Make the most of your customer base
Maximise the potential of your customer
base with end of lease notifications and
upgrade opportunities.
SieSmart
SieSmart, our online multi-language,
multi-currency finance application tool
provides instant, automated decisions,
enabling our vendors to close deals faster.
Fast decisions and processes
We use a range of tools to ensure our
vendors can finalise deals as quickly as possible.
Digital platforms and e-signature mean
documents can be swiftly processed online.

How does my
customer benefit
Thousands of businesses throughout the UK choose to
lease equipment through SFS because of the advantages
it offers over other forms of finance:
Conserves working capital
Outright purchase of equipment may restrict
business’ resources. Leasing allows customers to
save working capital for other projects such as
marketing, training and product development.
Upgrade options
Leasing allows businesses to stay ahead
of the changes in technology and respond
to competitors. Customers can upgrade their
equipment with ease, either during or at the
end of the lease, to accommodate changes
in circumstances.
Convenience
The documentation is simple and is taken care of
by the vendor and SFS. The finance is arranged
to suit the equipment, making the overall
acquisition simple and easy, while ensuring the
term of the agreement is in line with the useful
life of the equipment.
Easier budgeting
As lease payments are fixed, unlike an overdraft
or other methods of funding, leasing allows for
simple and easy budgeting for the agreed term
Future credit
Customers electing to lease equipment leave
existing lines of credit intact, which can be
used as necessary in the future.
Tax efficiency
100% of the rentals can be deducted from
taxable profits which may reduce the overall
cost of renting the equipment.*
*For more information about tax efficiency please contact
your accountant.
