Leasing Desk
Vehicle and equipment leasing structures, contract comparison, and end-of-term guidance.
An independent desk between you and the fine print.
Das Kontor was built around a simple idea: businesses arranging leasing, financing, or insurance deserve someone who explains the terms before they sign, not after.
Who We Are
A brokerage, not a lender.
Das Kontor Leasing und Finanzierung GmbH is registered in Düsseldorf and operates as an independent broker across three related fields: equipment leasing, equipment financing, and the insurance brokerage that often sits alongside them. We do not lend money or underwrite policies ourselves — our role is to compare options across our network of banks, lessors, and insurers, and to make sure you understand what you are looking at.
That distinction matters. Because we are not tied to a single lender or insurer, our recommendations are built around what fits your business, not around a single provider's product line.
Our Approach
Principles we hold ourselves to.
These are the working habits that shape every enquiry we take on, across leasing, financing, and insurance brokerage alike.
Independence first
We compare across multiple lenders and insurers rather than defaulting to one relationship, and we say so when a provider isn't a good fit.
Plain-language terms
Residual values, exclusions, and covenants get explained in ordinary language before you see the contract, not after.
No hidden pressure
We do not process payments, hold deposits, or push same-day decisions. You always have room to think it over.
One point of contact
The advisor who takes your first call stays with your enquiry through comparison, decision, and any follow-up questions later on.
How We're Organised
Three desks, one company.
Each enquiry is routed to the desk best placed to handle it. Larger enquiries that touch more than one area are coordinated by a single advisor.
Financing Desk
Equipment and machinery financing across bank, captive, and independent lenders.
Insurance Desk
Commercial and asset-related insurance brokerage, matched to leased or financed equipment.
Background
How the company took shape.
Founded
Das Kontor is established in Düsseldorf
Founded as an independent leasing and financing brokerage, taking its name from the historic "Kontor" — a merchant trading office — as a nod to independent, arm's-length commercial advice.
Expansion
Insurance brokerage added
Insurance brokerage is added alongside leasing and financing, reflecting how often the two are tied together in practice for equipment-heavy businesses.
Today
