Service leasing

Service leasing gives you key kitchen equipment that is always serviced and functional, and productive every day. The service leasing price includes the equipment itself and the maintenance costs for the contract period, so you avoid unexpected expenses and disruptions that disturb your work. 

Service leasing can remove the need for a large one-time capital investment, as the lease costs are evenly distributed over the period of use of the equipment. Service leasing is suitable for private companies as well as for financing public procurements. In service leasing, the monthly payment is fixed and determined by the degree of use of the equipment. 

When applying for service leasing financing, you do not need separate collateral, as the equipment you lease serves as collateral. In addition, the lease is tax deductible. A fixed monthly lease throughout the contract period makes your budgeting and financial planning easier. The contract period for service leasing is four years, during which you have the right to use the equipment. The number and timing of periodic maintenance visits are planned according to the degree of use of the kitchen and the equipment. After the contract period, the equipment can either be purchased, a new contract made and the equipment replaced with new ones, or the equipment can be returned to a location indicated by Metos.

There are always two parties in service leasing financing: the customer and the seller. As a customer, you choose the equipment for your professional kitchen, after which you can apply for service leasing through us. As a seller, Metos delivers the equipment and agrees with the customer on an extension after the end of the service leasing period.
