Leasing

works of art

Leasing is a form of financing that allows you to benefit from a work of art through an operating lease, and to become its owner at a low cost (residual value) while enjoying tax advantages. This type of financing enables companies or individuals to access works of art without having to commit substantial funds to a direct purchase.

Discover leasing

Why leasing

Companies can build up a collection of works of art through financing spread over 13 to 60 months, with no initial capital outlay. They can then acquire the works at a low fixed cost at the end of the contract, and resell them if necessary. This initiative reinforces corporate culture and brand image, while embellishing professional spaces to enhance well-being at work.

Tax benefits

Art rents are 100% tax deductible, reducing your final tax bill. You can choose whether to purchase the artwork for personal or professional use. Leasing does not create debt or impact your borrowing capacity. Leased works of art do not appear on the balance sheet, and can offer a potential capital gain, benefiting from an advantageous tax regime as a safe-haven investment.

Conditions to be met

To qualify, the work of art must be exhibited in a place accessible to the public, subject to a limit not exceeding 5% of your sales.
