How does it work?
Leasing is a contract between a leasing company
(lessor) and a customer (lessee), giving the customer
the use of the equipment in return for payment of
rentals over an agreed period. The lessor retains
ownership of the asset, which means that the customer
pays to use the equipment over a set period of time,
typically the agreed working life of the equipment.

What is leasing?
Leasing is a well established tax efficient method
of financing a wide variety of capital equipment.
A range of assets can be financed – anything from wind
turbines, office technology, security equipment,
specialised medical equipment and even gear boxes
for a manufacturing line.
Benefits of leasing
The growth in the popularity of leasing is quite simply
due to the benefits it offers:
• Conserves cashflow
• Flexibility to upgrade and add equipment
• Simplifies budgeting
• Preserves existing credit lines
• Choose the equipment you need
• Rentals are fully tax deductible operating expenses

Finance your investment
Improve your cashflow
Leasing Rentals are spread over a fixed period,
typically three to five years, which helps
to simplify the budgeting process and improve
cash flow.
Maximise your budget
Financing provides you with fixed regular
rentals, you can manage your budget better.
Moreover, it can enable you to include
additional functionality or even acquire a
more enhanced solution for a comparatively
small increase in rentals.
Gain tax advantages
If you pay corporation tax, finance from
Siemens is particularly attractive. Rentals can
be deducted from taxable profits and so the
net cost of financing your solution is reduced.
Stay ahead of the game
As your business grows and changes Siemens
will work with you every step of the way.
We will ensure the finance you have offers
the flexibility you need to upgrade or acquire
new equipment, thereby minimising the risk
of technology obsolescence and
protecting your investments.
Flexible financing
Siemens has a range of innovative financial
products that can be tailored to meet your
business needs. This can include hardware,
software, installation, training, consultancy,
and maintenance. As a result the entire cost
of your solution can be financed helping you
to spread the cost over the life of your
investments – rentals can be structured to
allow you to match your income expenditure.

Considerations
• Finance is subject to credit approval.
• If the customer does not keep up with repayments
SFS retains the right to terminate the agreement and
remove equipment from the premises.
• If the customer defaults on payment, this may affect
their credit rating.
• The customer does not always have the option to acquire
title of the equipment at the end of the finance period.
• Customer obligations are not dependant on the
performance of the equipment.
• Tax benefits are subject to paying corporation tax.
