Operating Leases: The Complete Guide [ ORDER HERE ]

The operating lease is the product of the future. It is one of the most complicated products in an already complex industry. Mature markets add value to this product as it evolves in new shapes and forms. Emerging markets are probing the operating lease; some have introduced it, others will.

The operating lease has numerous nuances that need to be fully understood. Whereas, the benefits of operating leases are obvious (increased volume and profit to the lessor, and off balance sheet financing and a hedge against technology to the lessee) the risks are substantial. Understanding the risks is critical to success in this highly competitive market. This 850-page book provides the reader with a complete understanding of asset risk and varied techniques to mitigate or eliminate such risks. The insight provided in one chapter of this two-volume set will more than compensate the reader for the price of the entire book.

This book is for those who need to gain a complete understanding of operating leases. Asset management, equipment nuances, and a complete discussion of off balance sheet financing—its benefits, potential, and future—are discussed in detail. This book is a must for lessors, lessees, and the varied professionals serving the leasing industry.

International Leasing: The Complete Guide [ ORDER HERE ]

Leasing, like every other financial product, exists within the framework of a now global economy. In this new environment, a global knowledge base is critical in order to compete effectively. This book is for those who wish to understand the leasing marketplace in its entirety, thereby expanding their horizons. Whether one desires to enter such markers or not, each lessor, regardless of location, is impacted by the global leasing arena.

International leasing markets are at varied stages of development - from nascent to mature. Lessors in nascent and emerging markets need to keep current on the issues in mature markets, as well as learn from each other's experiences. Lessors from mature markets, on the other hand, realizing the potential of newer markets, need to understand the unique leasing infrastructure - legal, regulatory, and tax aspects - that exists in each market.

Reading and understanding the subjects contained in this 880-page book will benefit lessors and lessees, regardless of size or country of origin, and the professionals who serve them. The information contained in the appendix alone (a 47-country summary of critical accounting, tax, and legal information) is worth many times the investment in this two-volume set. Join us for interesting and informative coverage of the ever-expanding and complex world of international/cross-border leasing, as well as its proven benefits and risks.
