FAQ

‘Operational’ means that the lessor remains the owner of the equipment throughout the lease and provides some operational support services to the lessee. Such support operations may include:

• administrative management of the leased equipment (order tracking, delivery notes, invoices, etc.)
• upgrade of the equipment throughout the duration of the lease term
• removal and recycling of any equipment at the end of the contractual lease period
• insurance covering risks associated with use of the equipment
• on request, the lessee receives a comparative report of various pieces of centralised data for the purposes of monitoring the contract, technology and budget

Operational leasing is the leasing solution most widely used for IT equipment. This flexible and scalable funding solution may include not only leasing the equipment but also related services such as maintenance, insurance and asset management. These variable costs can be clearly identified in the budget from the outset, thus avoiding any unpleasant surprises. There is no option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease. Operational leasing does not appear on the company’s balance sheet and the lease is classified as an operating expense.

Financial leasing is a funding solution which includes the option to purchase the equipment. The lease does not, however, include any additional services. Financial leasing appears as an asset on the company’s balance sheet and the equipment which is financed is subject to depreciation.

At the end of the lease, the lessee has several options available. They may:

• return the equipment
• renew the lease for new equipment
• extend the lease

Operational leasing is for companies wishing to continue to use high-performance IT equipment whilst protecting their cash-flow and avoiding issues associated with reselling obsolete equipment.
