Can I just clarify for people who may not be aware of such things, but
there are *two* basic forms of leasing.

One is where the company 'selling' the equipment provides the leasing
facility, such that the equipment remains the property of that company
during the lease (basically what has been discussed)

The other is a Finance lease, where you 'buy' the finance separately, use
that finance to pay the equipment supplier and own the equipment yourself,
subject to payments to the bank or other provider of the finance.

(That is trying to simplify it, anyway!)
