• Flexibility in lease structuring where maintenance and insurance packaged as part of the lease thus one predetermined payment.
• Cash flow management as predetermined rentals established in advance mainly payable on quarterly basis.
• Full lease rental is an operating expense thus providing a tax shield for the full lease duration.

• VAT on the asset leased is spread over the lease term of the asset and can be offset against input VAT.

• Financial ratio benefits as assets are off balance sheet thus improving ratios such as return on capital and current ratios.
• No large asset registers required as assets not owned
