Continuity:
Your devices remain in use—without technical changes or downtime.
In many companies, there is more capital hidden in IT than the balance sheet shows.
Notebooks, servers, storage, or smartphones—they are in operation but have long since been written off or reported as CAPEX. This ties up capital in hardware that could actually be used for innovation and transformation.
A "X-ray view" of your IT reveals hidden value beneath the surface – silent reserves that your company can immediately release and use as a competitive advantage.
This is how you can transform tied-up capital into available budget – quickly, predictably, and without technical changes.
The solution: sale and leaseback (SLB).
You sell your existing IT assets to a financing partner and lease them back directly. The equipment remains in use, your operations continue unchanged – but you gain immediate liquidity and relieve the burden on your balance sheet.
A calculation example: IT resources worth €80 million
An international corporation has around 50,000 end devices (notebooks, smartphones) and 5,000 server and storage systems. The balance sheet residual value of this IT infrastructure is around €80 million.
Sale and leaseback allows a large portion of this capital to be released and made immediately available for strategic projects such as cloud migration, AI pilot projects, or data center modernization. The devices remain in use and operations continue unchanged, but liquidity and balance sheet flexibility increase significantly.
The advantages for IT
Plannable refresh cycles:
Leasing creates financial flexibility for regular hardware upgrades.
More efficient use:
Transparent lifecycle management simplifies processes and ensures better utilization of your IT.
The advantages for Finance
Immediate liquidity:
Selling and leasing back your IT releases tied-up capital and strengthens cash flow.
Balance sheet optimization:
Outsourcing assets reduces the ratio of tangible assets, improving key figures and credit ratings.
Tax advantages:
Lease payments are considered OpEx, i.e. ongoing operating expenses. This reduces the tax burden and creates planning security.
Conclusion: Your next project could already be financed!
Your IT is more than just infrastructure—it is a financial lever. With sale and leaseback, tied-up capital becomes the key to innovations such as AI, cloud, or modernization.
In short: Your IT stays where it is – but your capital breaks new ground.
Those who dare to take a closer look will see that there are hidden reserves beneath the surface – real treasures just waiting to be unearthed.
