No large one-time investments

Instead of making a large one-time investment, you can lease fitness equipment with manageable monthly installments. This eases your budget and allows you to acquire modern equipment without significant upfront costs.

Tax advantages

Leasing rates are typically deductible as operating expenses, which brings tax advantages, especially for gyms or other business customers.

Flexibility at the start

The lease contracts can be tailored flexibly. Whether short terms or adjustable conditions – you have the opportunity to customize the agreements to your individual needs. With our convenient leasing calculator tool, you can easily calculate the terms and your budget.

Maintenance and service included

Many leasing providers offer service and maintenance contracts that cover repairs or replacements in case of defects. This saves you additional costs and effort.

Flexibility at the End of the Term

What is Business Leasing? FAQ's

How are the leasing rates calculated?

Leasing rates are based on several factors, including the value of the fitness equipment, the contract duration, the estimated residual value of the item at the end of the term, and financing costs. Specific conditions such as down payments or service packages can also influence the rates.

Can I purchase the fitness equipment at the end of the term?

Yes, we offer a purchase option at the end of the term. This corresponds to the residual value of the equipment at the end of the term.

What happens if I want to return the fitness equipment early?

In principle, this is possible. Early return may incur additional costs, as the lease agreement has a fixed term.

Are lease payments tax-deductible?

In Germany, lease payments are fully tax-deductible as business expenses.

Do I, as a business, need to make a down payment?

We can certainly factor in a down payment or a special payment at the beginning. However, this is not mandatory. The down payment will reduce the amount of the monthly installments. The requirements, however, may vary depending on the type of contract and credit assessment.

What is the difference between leasing and financing?

When leasing, you pay monthly installments for using the fitness equipment without owning it. At the end of the contract, you can return the equipment, take ownership, or upgrade to a new model. Maintenance is included by ATLETICA, and the payments are tax-deductible.

With financing (installment payments), you acquire the fitness equipment through monthly payments that also include interest. After full payment, the equipment is yours, but you are responsible for maintenance and repairs. Leasing offers flexibility, while financing is focused on long-term ownership.

Is VAT charged on the lease payment?

The lease payments are gross rates, meaning VAT is applicable during the term.

Is it possible to purchase the equipment for the residual value after the contract term ends?

Yes, after the basic rental period, purchasing the equipment is generally possible.

Why are the acquisition costs lower with leasing?

With financing, VAT is generally applied to the full amount and must be paid upfront. For a financing amount of EUR 20,000, the VAT is EUR 3,193 (with a VAT rate of 19%), which must be paid in advance. An initial payment of EUR 5,000 would mostly consist of the VAT.

Who can use ATLETICA's leasing offer?

All business customers (corporations) based in Germany or Austria with an order value starting from 5,000 EUR.
