CONT

In a leverage lease, the lessor buys the asset and leases it to the lessee, but (s)he pays only a small fraction of the purchase price, and the remaining payment is handled by a lender who puts up more than 50% of the purchase price and receives interest from the lessor. The lender is protected by first lien of assets and gets periodic payment from the lessee if the lessor defaults. This method is popular for very expensive assets.

CONT

A leverage lease is used for financing those assets which require huge capital outlay. The leverage lease agreement involves three parties, the lessee, the lessor and the lender. The loan is generally secured by mortgage of the asset besides assignment of the leased rental payments.
