Equipment Leasing

This is a contract between an owner of equipment(the Lessor) and another party(the Lessee) giving the Lessee possession and use of a specific asset in return for payment of specified rentals over an agreed period. Basically, there are two major types which are:
(i) Finance or Capital Lease
(ii) Operating Lease
In Bancorp Finance Limited, the finance lease involves:
• the lessee (customer or borrower) selecting an asset e.g. vehicle, equipment etc;
• the lessor (BFL) finances the purchase of that asset;
• the lessee uses the asset during the lease tenor;
• the lessee pays a series of rentals/installments for the use of that asset;
• the lessee has the option to acquire ownership of the asset by payment of the residual value, or purchase option price (applicable only in Finance Lease)

Sale and Leaseback
