An equipment lease is a long-term arrangement in which a leasing company purchases the equipment required by the customer and grants to the customer the use of the equipment for a specified period of time.

Sumitomo Mitsui Finance & Leasing, in its core leasing business, not only serves the customers' basic financing needs, but also offers a variety of value added financial services tailored to the specific requirements of the customer.

An operating lease is a financial scheme in which lease rents are computed on the value of the leased equipments deducting its residual value, which is the predicted value of the equipment at the end of the lease term.

Sumitomo Mitsui Finance & Leasing, for the first time in Japan, developed operating lease schemes for semi-conductor manufacturing equipment. As the pioneer in the field, we have applied our expertise in other types of equipment such as machine tools.

By using operating lease schemes, clients not only save the initial cost of acquiring the equipment but also gain protection against obsolescence.

An installment sale is a financial arrangement in which Sumitomo Mitsui Finance & Leasing purchases the equipment required by the customer, which will then be sold to the customer in installments. As all kinds of property including real estate are eligible for the scheme, the customer can use this arrangement for items not qualified for leases. Installment sales can also be used when the customer wishes to acquire ownership of the asset.
