OREANDA-NEWS. November 22, 2011. Under the scheme, the monthly cost of leasing, for instance, a 4,000,000-ruble bed truck for 5 years with upfront payment of 25% comes to less than Rb 80,000. Moreover, average annual appreciation is below 9% irrespective of the manufacturer.

For enterprises looking to acquire equipment or production lines, the loan term has been extended to 4 years. Meantime, SMEs can also take advantage of a property leasing scheme offering credit repayable over 8 years. As is common practice in the leasing sector, companies can access any program without the need for additional collateral – the equipment acquired serving as sufficient security.

“Longer leasing periods mean that companies can make monthly payments on leasing contracts without putting a strain on their budgets and at the same time make leasing loans more accessible to smaller businesses,” notes Uniastrum Leasing CEO Timur Boitemirov.
