Leasing is a mid and long-term financing model in which an investment good is purchased by a leasing company to be leased to an investor. During the contract term, ownership of the goods remains under the leasing company and the goods are offered for the use of the leaseholder in return for a pre-determined lease payment. At the end of the contract term, the goods are transferred to the leaser in exchange for a symbolic cost. Costs related to the maintenance, repair and insurance premiums of the goods are born by the leaseholder.
