‘Hard assets’ are more than a collection of bolts, valves, tubing and girders. Today’s industrial environment requires fast and creative responses to the demands of global competition. Whether building new infrastructure, upgrading existing production, or installing environmental and safety compliance technology, First Leasing Bank has the tools to help. To ease the burden of production ramp ups, FLB offers deferred payment plans. Alternatively, First Leasing Bank can buy existing productive assets and lease them back (sale leaseback); the proceeds can then be used to purchase and install new capacity.

First Leasing Bank employs pre-determined standard criteria to determine leasing viability and is focused on equipment lease transactions. This methodology results in a clear and transparent process, providing fast-track solutions to diverse leasing needs. The Bank aims to provide proven comparative advantage through the provision of leasing transactions, helping its clients to ‘free up’ cash reserves to enable further investment into their businesses, thus expediting greater growth and profitability. The positive impact on clients’ financial constraints has been proven to offer a return higher in value than the base cost of lease.

Advanced communication technology, and global competition has forced business to become more cost effective through increased productivity. Today, an organization’s technology infrastructure is the very foundation for operational efficiency, whether production, IT infrastructure or medical equipment. First Leasing Bank specialises in flexible solutions, providing everything from simple finance agreements to highly specialised structures, such as Total Solution Financing or Technology Refresh, all designed to help customers maintain state-of-the-art technology infrastructure.
