Leasing is a widely used financing solution, enabling

companies to use property, plant and equipment without


incurring large cash outflows at the start. Leasing
arrangements satisfy a wide variety of business needs, from
short-terms assets use to long term assets financing. A lease
agreement is a contract between two parties, the lessor and
the lessee. The lessor is the legal owner of the asset, the
lessee obtains the right to use the asset in return for rental
payments.
Advantages and Disadvantages
 Liquidity – the lessee can use the asset to earn without investing money in the asset. He can
employ his funds for working capital needs;
 convenience – leasing is the easiest method of financing fixed assets. No mortgage or
hypothecation is required. Restrictions involved in long-term borrowing from financial
institutions are avoided. Formalities involved in leasing are much less than in case of
borrowing from financial institutions
 Hidden liability – lease obligations are not reported as a liability in the company’s balance
sheet. On the other hand, loans raised to buy assets are reported as liability. Thus, leasing
helps the lessee to report a better debt-equity ratio;
 time saving – the asset is available for use immediately without loss of time in applying for
the loan, wanting for approval and sanction, etc. Lease rentals can be matched with cash
 no risk of obsolescence – the risk of the asset becoming obsolete due to
technological advancements is borne by the lessor;
cost saving – lease rentals are deductible from taxable income. The lessee
has lower obligation in bankruptcy than under debt financing;
 flexibility – leasing arrangement is more flexible. The rental schedule can
be adjusted to accommodate genuine needs and problems of the lessee
Disadvantages :
 the lessee gets only the right to use the asset.
 In case the leasing company is wound up the asset may be taken
back from the lessee thereby disrupting his operations;
 The lessee cannot make alterations or improvements in the asset
without the prior approval of the lessor.
 the lessee has to pay lease rentals on a regular basis to the
