Main Products and Services

Finance leases

A finance lease is a transaction in which a leasing company purchases the machinery and equipment you need on your behalf and leases the property to you for a relatively long period of time at a fixed lease fee. We support our customers with effective capital investment and efficient management through leasing.

Operating leases

An operating lease is a transaction in which a leasing company estimates the used value of the leased property at the end of the lease term in advance as the residual value and sets the lease fee based on the “property value - residual value.” You can reduce your costs by leasing your property based on a fee that reflects its used value.

Installment sales

Under installment sales transactions, a leasing company purchases machinery and equipment selected by the customer on behalf of the customer and sells the equipment to the customer over a long period in installments. We offer installment sales transactions for properties that are not suitable for leases due to tax reasons or when the customer wishes to own the property.
The customer is required to record the assets of the machinery and equipment and to record the depreciation. Ownership is retained by a leasing company until payment of the installment sale price and is ultimately transferred to the customer.

Vendor leases

Fuyo Lease Group’s Sharp Finance (SFC) provides vendor leases that support the sale of office equipment, information equipment, medical equipment, and facilities.
SFC boasts many years of expertise and track record in the field of vendor leasing, and provides strong support to the sales activities of sales companies from its sales bases across the country.

Real Estate

Real Estates leases

This is a transaction in which land is leased under a business land lease right, and the building is owned by the lease company and leased to the customer. Many commercial buildings such as shopping centers and roadside stores, logistics warehouses and nursing care facilities use this type of lease.
