E-commerce leasing as a gateway to digital transformation in B2B

Digitalization is becoming increasingly relevant for companies in the B2B sector. However, the step towards digital transformation comes at a price — e-commerce leasing offers a way to develop your application individually and ensure the financial flexibility for operations.

Digitalization presents a major challenge for B2B companies.

The first step towards a digital future seems insurmountable for many companies in various sectors, such as construction and industry, yet it is absolutely essential. Digitalization is progressing rapidly, and B2B companies, too, must hold their own against the competition. A customized software solution tailored to the company's needs can help. However, new IT equipment or the implementation of a platform/software application often means increased investment. If the necessary funds are lacking, compromises may have to be made, for example, regarding the platform's functionality or design. This is precisely where the digit-start approach comes in.

The concept of leasing

Leasing represents a special form of financing. While primarily known for cars or high-priced machinery, this financing option has now become established in the business world. The total amount is repaid through fixed monthly installments. The lessor initially finances the asset and makes it available to the lessee. The lessee then pays the agreed monthly installment as they use or develop the asset. Furthermore, most leasing contracts are balance sheet neutral. This means the leased asset (e.g., a customer portal platform) does not appear on the lessee's balance sheet, and their equity ratio remains unaffected.

Leasing for digital solutions

Leasing can also be used for digital projects. Companies can start immediately without having to save up an initial investment. The project costs are paid in equal monthly installments, spread over a pre-agreed period. In addition to financing implementation, leasing can also be used for services such as professional consulting.

Digi-start offers all possibilities for sustainable and accelerated digitalization and application development with calculable risk and costs.
