March 27, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., Martinique Développement is organizing a conference to introduce business leaders and project initiators to a financing tool that is still underutilized locally: the real estate leasing.

A Little-Known but Powerful Funding Tool

In an economic climate where cash flow management is a key challenge for businesses, real estate leasing offers an effective alternative to traditional financing. It allows companies to’purchase a commercial property without a down payment, while while maintaining its investment capacity for other operational needs.

This program is open to all businesses, regardless of their legal status or industry, as long as they have a SIRET number.

A comprehensive program featuring expert speakers

The morning will feature several highlights, with speakers from the banking, legal, and management consulting sectors:

• Overview of Real Estate Leasing
  Glawdys Bilon, representative of Crédit Agricole Leasing & Factoring in the Caribbean, will explain in detail how this financing method works, its eligibility requirements, and the tax benefits it offers, including the deductibility of rent and the accelerated depreciation.

• Legal and Contractual Aspects
  Fred Germain, Esq., a business attorney, will explain the contractual issues related to leasing, the guarantees that must be provided, and the specifics of the legal structure.

• Feedback and Case Studies
  Dimitri Marie-Luce, from DML Partners, a firm specializing in business development, will share concrete examples of companies that have chosen this financing method. He will also discuss the accounting and tax implications, as well as best practices to follow before committing to this approach.

A system with many benefits

Some of the key benefits of real estate leasing include:

• 100% Financing %, including sales tax, notary fees, and architect's fees

• Flexible duration, typically between 7 and 15 years old

• Full deduction of rent, reducing corporate income tax

• Option to Purchase at the End of the Contract, allowing the company to become the owner of the property

• Maintaining Cash Flow, set aside for operating expenses or development

Another notable advantage: the ability to carry out a real estate lease-back, which allows a company that already owns its property to transfer it to a leasing company while continuing to occupy it, thereby generating immediate cash flow.

Why should you come?

Whether you are a sole proprietor, a self-employed professional, or a company executive, real estate leasing allows you to:

✅ Finance a commercial property at 100% (including VAT)
✅ Optimize Your Tax Situation by Taking Advantage of Rent Deductions
✅ Preserve your cash flow for other investments
✅ Continue using your facilities while reducing your balance sheet
✅ Regain full ownership of the property at the end of the contract
