Vendor lease is a financing product that lets you use leasing as a marketing tool to boost your sales (*).
How does it work?
1. You sign a contract (collaboration agreement) with us that enables you to offer leasing solutions to your clients relating to the financing of two types of equipment:
- Technological equipment, such as IT, medical and telecoms material, and photocopiers.
- Logistical equipment and solutions: agricultural, maintenance, construction and civil engineering machinery, and light utility vehicles.
2. You then incorporate the leasing contract (in the form of financial leasing, financial hiring or operational leasing) in your sales process.
3. Financial and operational leasing are both possible. Other linked services, such as insurance and maintenance, are also generally offered. Whether or not within the framework of the lease contract, the vendor of the lease can organise this activity at total liberty, even when it is mostly implemented in collaboration with a leasing company.
