Third-party Lease Review

Other times, equipment manufacturers do not choose to run their own leasing operations. They form joint ventures with international financial institutions, banks and independent leasing companies. These firms have full-time legal, credit, lease and asset management departments whose only business is leasing. These highly skilled lease professionals write iron-clad contracts that maximize financial returns for their benefit and that of their manufacturing partners. It is common knowledge, for example, that the financing arm of General Motors (GMAC) has always made more money on a margin basis than the auto manufacturer itself.
