What is leasing?
It is a well-established tax efficient method of financing which helps you
sell more effectively by making it easier for your customers to choose the
right equipment. Having concluded the negotiations with your customer
for the equipment and terms, the lessor then buys the equipment from
you and rents to your customer (Figure 1).
The lessor retains ownership of the asset in return for the periodical rentals
over an agreed period, typically the working life of the equipment.

The benefits of leasing
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 competitive
activity. 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 partner and SFS. The finance is
arranged to suit the equipment, making the overall acquisition simple and easy whilst
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, this
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.

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.
How Building Technology Finance works:
1. Choose the technology you need
You select the best-fit technology your business needs. We’ll tailor an
affordable financing plan with payments over time.
2. Supplier delivers technology
The supplier delivers your technology, and Siemens Financial Services
pays the supplier.
3. Make affordable payments
You make simple monthly or quarterly payments to Siemens Financial
Services over time.
4. Upgrade or add on
If your needs change, we’ll help you adapt your finance plan to fit.
