Our Member Companies: Partners for Investment, Sales Financing and Supplementary Services
In 2019 the 150 or so companies that make up the membership of the BDL generated some 75 billion euro’s worth of leasing business, which accounted for more than 85 percent of the value of the German leasing market. The structures that exist in the leasing sector are in many ways a reflection of Germany’s corporate landscape. More than half of all leasing companies have fewer than 15 employees, and around three quarters have fewer than 50. One in three of the BDL’s member companies is managed by one sole director or general manager. Most frequently, these are companies that are run by their owner. Only a few leasing companies employ more than 500 members of staff, and not a single one has more than 1,300 employees. In total, the leasing industry has a workforce of around 14,000.
