Connecting beyond

From asset finance to strategic partnerships

As a global asset finance organization, we work with partners and customers, and our team members to foster meaningful growth and build long-term partnerships. It’s through these strategic partnerships built over more than 55 years, that we connect financing to real world needs and aim to positively contribute to where we live and work. This means Connecting beyond — going beyond asset finance to create long-term value for our partners, customers, members (employees), and the communities we serve.

Frequently Asked Questions

To us, asset finance is more than just lending money. We are committed to providing comprehensive solutions that help our partners and customers successfully navigate their strategic growth ambitions, challenging market environments, and beyond.

What matters most to us is developing a deep understanding of our partners, their customers, and the unique needs of their business. We believe in their vision, champion their ambitions, and stand alongside them every step of the way – in both the good times and the more challenging ones. We work together to solve challenges creatively and develop strategic solutions that aim to drive long-term success for our partners and their customers.

When we build deeper, trusted relationships, growth begins and real impact can begin.


 

DLL provides solutions that aim to create value and support growth ambitions across the entire asset lifecycle. Our solutions include:
 

  • Retail finance: This solution spans a variety of products including loans, financial leases, fair market value leases, asset-risk products and pay-per-use agreements. These products are designed to be used at point-of-sale, enhancing our partners’ ability to place assets with their customers. In turn, these products allow their customers to easily acquire and use the equipment they need to operate their businesses. The prevalence of one financial product type over another can vary across industries and geographies depending on the established local practices and preferences of the end-user customers.
  • Inventory finance: A suite of asset finance solutions that support manufacturers and their distribution partners. Our inventory finance solutions enable dealers and resellers to acquire assets without tying up critical cash and bank lines. This helps manufacturers and distributors increase dealer and reseller purchasing power without carrying the credit risk on their balance sheets. Additionally, inventory finance (including floor plan financing structures) can help reduce days sales outstanding by providing manufacturers with faster payment for goods sold into the dealer network. This improves working capital efficiency, enhances cash flow predictability, and allows manufacturers to focus on growth rather than collections.
  • Used equipment finance: DLL offers financing solutions for used, refurbished, and remanufactured equipment, just as we do for new assets. We help manufacturers and dealers remarket equipment returned at the end of a lease, supporting equipment reuse and creating additional revenue opportunities. We also provide inventory financing for used equipment, including floorplan solutions, helping dealers acquire and hold inventory without tying up cash.

These asset financing models enable us to finance the entire asset lifecycle for our partners and their customers. This includes asset procurement, refurbishment, more sustainable and secure disposal or lifespan extension. In turn, these solutions address increasing market demands for convenience, flexibility, and one-stop shopping.

At DLL, we combine expertise in sustainability and circularity with tailored financial solutions to help our partners and customers stay more resilient in an evolving business landscape. Whether they are just starting their sustainability journey or scaling existing initiatives, we aim to meet them where they are to help identify practical opportunities that support both business and sustainability objectives.

Our goal is simple: To help partners and customers remain competitive, relevant, and future-ready. Through practical financing solutions across key transition areas, backed by proven customer success stories, we aim to support organizations in managing transition-related risks, identifying value opportunities, and strengthening long-term business resilience.

Key transition areas include:
 

  • Circularity: Support circular business models through asset financing that may help extend asset lifespans and/or increase asset utilization.
  • Food: Support investment in food-sector solutions through financing that can facilitate the adoption of equipment and practices intended to improve efficiency and reduce emissions.
  • Energy: Provide financial solutions across the energy value chain, from energy consuming to energy producing assets.

This is a message that we consistently hear in regular partner engagement surveys and focus groups that we conduct with our partners and customers.

How we build and foster relationships depends on our people making connections. DLL members show great passion and commitment to the goal of serving our partners and customers. This is complimented by a strong entrepreneurial spirit that allows us to create solutions to help them win in changing markets.
