About Leasing

Leasing is a type of investment activity in which the provider of leasing services (lessor) undertakes to purchase (and hold title to) an asset selected by the recipient of leasing services (lessee) from the vendor selected by the lessee; after that the lessor transfers this asset to the lessee for temporary holding and usage in return for payment of a fee.

Leasing is one of the main financial instruments allowing large-scale capital investments in development of fixed assets of any production facility – and any company in general.

Any type of asset could be used in a leasing transaction (the sole exception are assets that are physically consumed in the process of their usage). Types of assets used in leasing transactions include entire manufacturing facilities and other property complexes, buildings, structures, equipment, transport vehicles and other property (both movable and immovable) that can be used in entrepreneurial activities.

Land plots and other natural assets could not be transferred under a leasing transaction; the same is true for types of assets which are in restricted circulation in Russia under Russian federal laws – and for assets having a special regime or circulation in Russia.

Title to the asset transferred in a leasing transaction (temporarily transferred to the lessee for holding and usage) is held by the lessor.
