Financial Services
As an industrial enterprise, we understand your industry-specific financing requirements. Benefit from our extensive experience and talk to our experts.
Financial Services
As a non-bank financing provider, we supply Siemens and business-to-business customers worldwide with capital for infrastructure, equipment and operations. Our knowhow in key Siemens markets and related industries makes us an expert manager of financial risks within Siemens and a competent investor in innovative technologies and sustainable infrastructures.
We enable Siemens to offer technology and financing from a single source – primarily in the energy, healthcare, industry and infrastructure & cities fields. Our solutions encompass financial consulting, equity financing and debt financing. We finance infrastructures, equipment and operating resources and provide professional financial risk management for Siemens’ businesses.
Our Siemens affiliation makes it possible for us to combine financial expertise with industrial knowhow. Drawing on our extensive understanding of their particular requirements, we help our customers achieve their growth objectives and boost their competitiveness. For example, we’ve developed a financing structure for Russia’s state railway operator and played a key role in an innovative wind power project in Grevenbroich, Germany. By developing a tailored financing concept, we’ve also made it possible for the Euromed Clinic in Fürth, Germany, to obtain new radiology equipment.
As part of Siemens, we can access the professional knowhow needed to assess the technical and economic feasibility of projects. In addition to the specialist knowledge required to structure, underwrite and retain financing, we maintain close contacts with leading financial institutions. These contacts enable us – as a global provider – to offer our customers direct access to an extensive network of banks, export credit agencies and our own financial experts.
Even in turbulent times, enterprise customers know they can rely on us. While numerous competitors are scaling back their activities, we’re expanding ours. Backed by Siemens’ financial strength, we’re virtually independent of the liquidity cycles that affect banks. We’ll continue to pursue our successful strategy in the future by providing sales financing to support Siemens' sales activities, by professionally managing financial risks and opportunities for Siemens, and by leveraging Siemens’ expertise to generate profitable growth in non-Siemens businesses.
Our structured finance solutions are tailored to the individual needs of our customers in both the public and private sectors.
Structured Finance (Debt & Equity)
Our structured financing solutions combine in-depth industry know-how and financial expertise. We focus on providing tailored financing solutions for the energy, healthcare, industry and infrastructure & cities sectors – covering both the public and private sectors.
The spectrum of our solutions ranges from senior secured corporate loans and structured investment financing (e.g., leases and loans) to infrastructure and project financing. In addition, our portfolio includes acquisition and growth financing, typically as syndicated loans.
Our structured finance solutions are tailored to the individual needs of our customers in both the public and private sectors, and help customers enhance their competitiveness and exploit growth opportunities. Our structured finance team covers the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Australia, working with local teams throughout SFS locations.
We offer a comprehensive range of equipment finance and leasing solutions to organizations of all sizes requiring financing for equipment from Siemens or third-party providers – ranging from large international corporations, municipalities and public sector entities to small privately owned firms.
Equipment Finance & Leasing
In view of ever faster technological progress and increasingly tight public budgets, equipment finance has become an attractive and more and more frequently used alternative to direct purchase. It is often only thanks to the available equipment finance solutions that regional or local authorities are able to buy the technically superior solution, as the payment plan can be tailored exactly to their financial situation. The innovative product and services portfolio of SFS comprises a wide range of financing options such as finance lease, operating lease, lease-purchase, rental, structured loans and software financing right up to the so-called managed services. Examples for equipment-financed projects include the conversion of traffic signal installations in Freiburg and Memmingen to modern LED technology, making these two South-German cities pioneers in environmental protection. The best thing about it all: The immediately achievable energy cost savings are actually higher than the payment rates for the loan.
