Finance Lessors

Finance Lessors classified under SIC 6172 provide capital to businesses primarily through leasing structures rather than traditional loans, funding assets such as industrial equipment, vehicle fleets, technology systems, and commercial real estate. Their core offerings include finance and operating leases, sale-leaseback arrangements, vendor and captive finance programs, and structured lease securitizations. Typical customers range from small and mid-sized enterprises to large corporates, transportation companies, healthcare providers, and public-sector entities looking to preserve cash and manage balance sheets efficiently. Key risks include counterparty credit risk, residual value exposure on leased assets, interest-rate and funding volatility, and evolving regulatory and accounting standards such as capital adequacy rules and ASC 842 lease reporting. In 2024–2025, the sector is shaped by higher rates, demand for green and energy-efficient assets, AI-driven underwriting, and growing interest in “as-a-service” usage models.
