Martinique Développement to Highlight Untapped Financing Potential

On March 27, 2025, Martinique Développement is hosting a pivotal conference aimed at introducing local business leaders and project developers to a largely underutilized financial instrument: the real estate lease. This event seeks to illuminate the advantages of this financing method, particularly in the current economic climate.

the Power of Real Estate Leasing: An Option to Conventional Funding

In today’s economy, efficient cash flow management is paramount for business success. Real estate leasing emerges as a compelling alternative to conventional loans, enabling businesses to acquire property for professional use without requiring a significant upfront capital outlay. This strategic approach allows companies to preserve their investment capacity for essential operational needs and growth initiatives.

This financing solution is available to all companies holding a SIRET number, irrespective of their legal structure or industry sector. It represents a versatile tool for businesses of all sizes seeking to optimize their financial strategies.

Real estate leasing allows businesses to acquire property without a large initial investment, freeing up capital for other critical operations.

Conference Highlights: Expert Insights and Practical Applications

The conference agenda is packed with informative sessions led by experts in banking, law, and business consulting. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the mechanics of real estate leasing and its practical applications.

Key Discussion Points:

• Understanding Real Estate Leasing

  Glawdys Bilon, representing Crédit Agricole Leasing & Factoring in the Antilles, will provide a detailed explanation of how real estate leasing works, including eligibility criteria and associated tax benefits, such as rent deductibility and potential suramortization. These tax advantages can significantly reduce a company’s overall tax burden.

• Navigating Legal and Contractual Frameworks

  Master Fred Germain, a seasoned business lawyer, will delve into the legal and contractual complexities of leasing agreements. He will address essential considerations such as guarantees, legal structures, and potential challenges, ensuring businesses are well-informed before entering into a lease.

• Real-world Examples and Best Practices

  Dimitri Marie-Luce of DML Partners, a business advancement specialist, will share compelling case studies of companies that have successfully leveraged real estate leasing. He will also discuss the accounting and tax implications, offering practical advice for businesses considering this financing option.

The Advantages of Real Estate Leasing: A Closer Look

Real estate leasing offers a multitude of benefits for businesses seeking to expand or optimize their operations:

• Thorough Financing: Covers 100% of the property cost, including VAT, notary fees, and architect fees.
• Flexible Terms: Lease durations typically range from 7 to 15 years, providing flexibility to align with business needs.
• Tax Optimization: rents are fully deductible, leading to a reduction in corporate tax liabilities.
• Ownership Potential: A purchase option at the end of the lease allows the company to acquire full ownership of the property.
• Cash Flow Preservation: Frees up capital for day-to-day operations and strategic development initiatives.

Lease-Back Opportunities: Unlocking Liquidity

Another significant advantage is the potential for a lease-back immobilier transaction. This allows a company that already owns its property to sell it to a leasing organization and then lease it back,providing an immediate influx of liquidity while maintaining uninterrupted use of the premises.

Why Consider Real Estate Leasing?

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a professional, or a company manager, real estate leasing offers a strategic pathway to:

• Finance 100% of a property used for professional activities (including VAT).
• Optimize your tax strategy through rent deductibility.
• Preserve cash flow for other critical investments.
• Maintain the use of your business premises while improving your balance sheet.
• Gain full ownership of the property at the end of the contract.
