Financing Solutions
Leasing and Mietkauf for IT & technology investments
Columbus Leasing GmbH provides structured B2B financing solutions for eligible computer equipment, software, communication technology and medical technology. Each request is considered individually.
Leasing
Use technology under agreed contractual terms
Leasing can enable a business to use required IT and technology equipment under an agreed contractual structure and payment schedule. The specific terms depend on the technology, the business, the requested structure, assessment, and contractual agreement.
Leasing does not automatically provide a particular tax, accounting, balance-sheet, or cost outcome. Those effects can depend on the contract and the circumstances of the business.
Mietkauf
A structure designed around ownership acquisition
Mietkauf is a financing structure generally designed for businesses that plan to acquire ownership of an asset according to agreed contractual terms. It differs from conventional Leasing because the contractual structure is oriented toward ownership acquisition rather than the continuing use of an asset within a conventional leasing arrangement.
The precise legal, accounting, tax, and financial treatment depends on the individual contract and circumstances. Columbus Leasing GmbH does not present Mietkauf as automatically preferable to Leasing.
Individual assessment
Choosing a structure starts with the business requirement
The relevant factors can include the type of technology, intended use, licensing model where applicable, requested financing structure, company information, assessment, availability, and contractual conditions.
Alongside financing, Columbus Leasing GmbH offers IT asset lifecycle management. The exact service scope is defined individually for the relevant technology and business requirement.
Important
Financing is subject to individual assessment, approval, availability, and contractual terms.
