Purchase, rental & leasing
Choose a contract structure that fits the period of use and schedule of your project. Together with the relevant parties, we discuss purchase, rental or leasing and agree availability and terms.
Purchase
For projects where ownership is intended. The selected configuration, transfer of ownership, payment terms and responsibilities for delivery and use are defined in the contract.
Rental
For a defined period of use. We discuss the configuration, duration, responsibilities during use and arrangements for return or the end of the rental period.
Leasing and financing
A possible financing or use structure involving relevant partners. UNIT Defence acts as supplier and coordinating partner. Possibilities depend on the customer, country, product, assessment and agreed conditions.
Understand the whole-life cost
Consider configuration and delivery alongside energy and other operating costs, maintenance and spare parts. Include any agreed return, transport or end-of-contract costs. These depend on the actual configuration and contract, not standard assumptions.
