About Nord Leasing GmbH

A Specialist Partner, Not a Generalist Bank

Since 2010, Nord Leasing GmbH has focused on one thing: unlocking capital tied up in the fixed assets of Germany's industrial Mittelstand. As a licensed, bank-independent financial services institution based in Hamburg, we structure Sale-and-Lease-Back and Sale-and-Rent-Back solutions for manufacturing, engineering, and production companies nationwide.

We are advisors first, financiers second. Every transaction begins with understanding your business, not just your assets.

Financing Solutions

Two Structures. One Goal: Liquidity Without Compromise.

Every Nord Leasing GmbH solution is built on the same principle β€” your production equipment stays exactly where it is, in full operation, while its value becomes available as capital.

Sale-and-Lease-Back

Sell Your Equipment. Lease It Back. Keep Producing.

Nord Leasing GmbH purchases production machinery already owned by your company, then leases it back to you for continued, uninterrupted use. Your balance sheet improves and lease payments become a deductible operating expense.

Best suited for: companies seeking to strengthen their balance sheet and release hidden reserves as capital.
Sale-and-Rent-Back

Sell Your Equipment. Rent It Back. Retain Full Flexibility.

Nord Leasing GmbH purchases your equipment and rents it back to you, while you retain beneficial ownership for depreciation and balance sheet purposes.

Best suited for: companies that want liquidity while preserving depreciation benefits.

FAQ

Common Questions

Is Sale-and-Lease-Back only for companies in financial distress?+

No. It's used equally by healthy, growing companies to fund investment, acquisitions, and expansion β€” restructuring is only one of several use cases.

Will my production be interrupted?+

No. Your machinery stays on-site and in continuous use throughout the entire term.

How is this different from a bank loan?+

Financing is based on the value of your fixed assets, not your credit rating β€” decisions are typically faster and independent of banking covenants.

Is Nord Leasing GmbH a regulated financial institution?+

Yes. Nord Leasing GmbH is registered with the Amtsgericht Hamburg (HRB 117826) and licensed under the German Banking Act (KWG).
