Expanding your laboratory without a major investment? Lease your laboratory and equipment simply and flexibly

Labolease offers the solution to flexibly finance your new laboratory equipment and furnishings. Whether you are a start-up, scale-up or established company, with Labolease you spread the cost of your laboratory equipment over several years, without compromising on quality.

Benefits of Labolease

Setting up or expanding a new laboratory often requires a significant investment. Sometimes the budget turns out to be insufficient or there are other priorities within your organisation. Labolease allows you to invest in innovative equipment and facilities, while spreading the costs over a longer period. This is especially advantageous for startups and scale-ups that prefer to use their capital for further development.

We connect you with reputable banks and financial institutions to ensure smooth financing of your laboratory project. The lease agreement is arranged directly between your organisation and our financial partners, without third-party involvement.

Which laboratory equipment can you lease?

• Movable objects: Any equipment that is not attached to the building, such as standalone laboratory equipment. Examples include mobile air conditioners, laboratory ovens, refrigerators and incubators.
• Standalone items: Equipment that can function independently, such as centrifuges, bio safety cabinets, laminar flow cabinets and other standalone devices.
• Identifiable objects: Equipment with a unique serial or identification number, such as microscopes, ultra-low temperature freezers, and laboratory refrigerators.

In addition, the laboratory equipment must retain a market value so that it still has value on the second-hand market after the lease period ends.

Operational lease vs. financial lease: which option suits you?

Financial lease

• Similar to an annuity loan
• You are the immediate legal and economic owner of the device
• Maintenance, repairs and insurance are arranged by you
• The device appears on your balance sheet

Operational lease

• You pay a fixed monthly amount, similar to rent
• The leasing company remains the legal and economic owner
• Optionally, you can buy the object at the end of the lease period
• The object is not on your balance sheet, which is often advantageous for startups

Is laboratory furniture leasable?

Laboratory furniture, such as workbenches, fume cupboards and safety cabinets, is often more difficult to lease as they are usually fixed to the room. However, with unique numbering for each piece of furniture, we can still offer leasing options. Many of these items also retain value on the second-hand market, making them attractive for leases.

Moreover, there are options for financing your laboratory furniture via a loan from a bank.
