zeb/ is the first choice financial services partner

In Germany, leasing companies handle an annual investment volume of approximately EUR 50 billion. Today, nearly 50% of externally financed equipment spending is financed via leasing. Thanks to the particular performance features of lease financing, .e.g. the flexible financing and contract design, a comprehensive range of complementary services or the specific object expertise, this attractive way of financing will continue to be a growth segment, even in the medium term.

In addition to leasing companies with international focus that often have a banking or manufacturing background, the market contains many independent medium-sized leasing companies of different sizes. The companies are presented with various strategic and operational challenges. These include current changes in the market and competitive environment and in the refinancing area, the fulfilment of demanding and still increasing regulatory requirements, the changes of international accounting rules, as well as the challenges of the proceeding business internationalisation.

zeb/ knows the specific requirements of leasing companies from numerous projects on various issues and offers a comprehensive and strictly implementation-oriented range of consulting services.
