Definition of Leasing and Financial Leasing
LEASING
Leasing is a contract through which a financial institution (lessor) transfers
the use of an asset to a client (lessee) for a specific period of time, in
exchange for the payment of periodic rents. At the end of the contract, the
lessee has the option to acquire the asset for a pre-established residual
value, renew the contract, or return the asset to the lessor.
FINANCIAL LEASING:
Financial leasing is a form of leasing in which the contract is designed in
such a way that ownership of the leased asset can be transferred to the
lessee at the end of the lease period, usually at a nominal or residual
price. This type of lease typically covers most of the useful life of the asset
and is structured to reflect long-term financing.
CHARACTERISTICS OF LEASING AND FINANCIAL LEASING:
Financial Flexibility
Leasing allows companies and individuals to use assets without making a
significant initial outlay, thus preserving their liquidity and financing
capacity for other needs.
Purchase option
At the end of the leasing contract, the lessee has the option to purchase
the leased asset at a pre-established residual price, generally lower than
the market value of the asset.
Fiscal benefits
In many countries, leasing payments may be tax deductible as operating
expenses, which may result in tax savings for the lessee.
Acceso a Tecnología Actualizada:
Companies can use leasing to access up-to-date technology and
equipment without committing to a long-term purchase, making it easier to
periodically renew their assets.
Risks and Maintenance:
Depending on the type of contract, the lessor may be responsible for the
maintenance and insurance of the property, reducing risks and costs for
the lessee.

TYPES OF LEASING
Operational Leasing
It is a short or medium-term lease contract where the lessor maintains
ownership of the asset and the associated risks. At the end of the contract,
the property is returned to the lessor, with no purchase option for the
lessee.
Financial Leasing
It is a long-term contract in which the lessee has the option to purchase
the asset at the end of the period for a residual value. This type of leasing
is similar to a loan, where the lessee amortizes the value of the asset
during the contract period.
Leaseback
It is an agreement where a company sells an asset it owns to a financial
institution and then leases it back. This allows the company to free up
capital while still using the asset.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF LEASING
Advantages
Capital Preservation
No large initial outlay required.
Flexibility
Options to renew, return or buy the property.
Fiscal benefits
Deduction of leasing payments as operating expenses.
Access to Updated Technology
Ease of updating equipment and technology.
Disadvantages
Total cost
In the long term, the total cost of leasing may be higher than that of
purchasing outright.
Contractual Commitments
Obligation to make payments throughout the contract period.
Restrictions
Possible restrictions on the use and modification of the leased property.

V. CONCLUSIONS:
Leasing and financial leasing are essential financial instruments that offer a
viable alternative to the direct purchase of assets.
They allow companies and individuals to manage their cash flow and capital
more efficiently, benefiting from flexibility and possible tax incentives.
• However, it is crucial to carefully evaluate the contract conditions and long-
term implications to make informed decisions that align with the entity's
financial and operational objectives.
