01 Overview

What this business area is.

Leasing converts ownership of an asset into a stream of usage rather than a one-time sale. Fleets, equipment and space are held, maintained and made available to those who need them.

Lease documentation, asset tracking and maintenance are the operating disciplines that decide whether a leased asset performs.

Scope, not a statement of assets. This list describes the scope of the Leasing & Rental business area. It does not state that any specific asset, location, valuation, licence or result exists. Where activities or assets are operating, they will be identified on this page only once independent verification can be supplied.

03 Risks

What can go wrong.

Assets lose value through use and age (depreciation).
Income depends on utilisation and on lessees meeting their obligations.
Maintenance, insurance and repair costs reduce net income.
Used assets can be difficult to resell at a desired price.

These are examples, not a complete list. Read the full risk disclosure before taking any decision. Capital is at risk, and any return depends on realised and legally distributable business profit.
