Leasingissa

Leasingissa is the inessive form of the Finnish noun leasing, meaning “in leasing” or “under a lease.” It is used to describe assets or arrangements that are financed under a lease rather than owned outright.

The term derives from the English word leasing and is common in Finnish business language, especially in procurement, finance, and asset management. The inessive suffix -ssa marks location or state, so leasingissa signals that the asset or contract is currently subject to a lease agreement.

In practice, when an item is in leasing, ownership generally remains with the lessor (the leasing company), while the lessee obtains the right to use the asset under the terms of the contract. Leasing can involve fixed payments, maintenance obligations, and renewal options; it is distinguished from buying or renting in some contexts, though rental arrangements may overlap with leasing.

Examples include: “Kone on leasingissa kolmen vuoden leasing-sopimuksella.” “Auto on leasingissa ja sitä käytetään yrityksen toiminnassa.”
