Professional leasing in Switzerland: Key points

Leasing is a particularly popular financing solution for business equipment in Switzerland. It enables companies to obtain the goods they need for their business without having to buy them immediately. PrestaFlex can help you create an advantageous and transparent professional leasing contract.


📋 1. Principles of the professional leasing contract :

  • Object of leasing: Mainly professional equipment such as industrial machinery, computers, medical equipment, office furniture, etc.
  • Legal owner: For the duration of the contract, the asset belongs to the lessor. The user only pays for use.
  • Contract duration: In Switzerland, leasing contracts for professional equipment can last up to 84 months.
  • Purchase option: At the end of the contract, it is possible to buy back the asset by paying the residual value set at the beginning of the contract.

💲 2. Costs, interest rates and ancillary charges :

  • Effective interest rate: It's essential to check the APR (Annual Percentage Rate), which includes all leasing-related costs.
  • Insurance requirements: For professional equipment, specific insurance may be required by the lessor.
  • Servicing and maintenance costs: Generally payable by the user, including repairs, maintenance and software updates (for IT equipment).
  • Down payment : Often optional, but recommended to reduce monthly payments.
  • Residual value: Amount to be paid if you wish to purchase the asset at the end of the contract.
  • Hidden costs to avoid: PrestaFlex guarantees total transparency, with no unadvertised additional costs.

📅 3. Conditions for early termination :

  • Breach of contract: May incur substantial penalties if made before the scheduled end of the leasing period.
  • Transfer of lease: Some contracts allow the lease to be transferred to a third party in the event of inability to pay. PrestaFlex can help you find suitable solutions.
  • Renegotiation: Possible to adjust the terms of the contract in line with changes in your business activity.
