Overview
Financial leasing refers to the type of leasing in which all or most of the risks and rewards related to the ownership of assets are virtually transferred. The ownership of assets can be transferred or not. In 2015, Premier Li Keqiang presided over an executive meeting of the State Council, specifying measures that can accelerate the development of the financial leasing industry, thus better serving the real economy. The meeting pointed out that accelerating the development of financial leasing is an important measure to deepen financial reform, which is conducive to easing the difficulty in and high cost of financing for enterprises, encouraging them to invest more in equipment, and driving industrial upgrading. This measure has effectively driven the development of the financial leasing industry and further accelerated the IT system construction of the industry.
Nowadays, the public is much more familiar with financial leasing than before, believing there is huge market potential. In developed countries, financial leasing business has become "the second largest financing model after bank credit". In China, financial leasing is an important means for the regulators to build a "multi-tier financial market system". Chinese enterprises tend to make huge investment in fixed assets, in this sense, financial leasing has huge development opportunities for finance companies.
At present, the major companies that engage in financial leasing in the market can be divided into four categories: financial leasing companies, finance companies, operation leasing companies and trust companies.
