How to obtain a license for lease services?

Obtainment of a leasing license consists of two key stages:

  1. Inclusion in the register of the NBU. The stage provides inclusion of an applicant company in one of two registers - the register of financial institutions or the register of legal entities that are not financial companies, but have the right to provide certain financial services under the law (the only type of financial services is financial leasing).

  2. Obtainment of a license from the NBU.

In practice, the period for obtaining a leasing license is at least one and a half months, and usually even longer. If you need to start working faster, we offer to buy a ready-made company with a license for leasing.

Our successful projects

Successfully obtained a license during hearing of the first in 2019 licensing commission of the National Commission for the State Regulation of Financial Services Markets
A license for providing financial leasing services was the second stage of our cooperation (after the client was included in the relevant register of the state regulator) with an international company providing car leasing services.
Obtained a positive decision on issuing a leasing license during hearing of one of the licensing commissions of the National Commission for the State Regulation of Financial Services in December
Ensured full support of a company registered in Kyiv for inclusion in the register of lessors with further obtainment of the relevant financial license.

Leasing license lookup

To obtain a leasing license, it is necessary to meet all requirements applicable to a license applicant by a regulator and to a package of documents, which is submitted for obtaining a license. Among them are requirements for staff, accounting and data recording systems, office equipment, communications, internal regulations and rules. Bringing a license applicant in full compliance with the licensing conditions guarantees quick obtainment of the license, as well as ensures absence of any complaints from a regulator during the further business activity.

Furthermore, specialists of our firm help with obtaining leasing licenses, including applicants, who can only meet the minimum requirements of the licensing authority. We draft an standard financial lease agreement, internal rules and other necessary documents.

Electronic reporting of a lessor

From the beginning of 2018, a new reporting procedure for lessors and financial companies came into force. The deadlines for submitting reports have been preserved, however, leasing companies must submit reports in electronic form up to date.

The procedure involves:

  • obtaining a login password for access to the electronic reporting system of the NBU;
  • obtaining electronic keys to a head and an accountant (if available) to sign statements.


It should be noted that paper reporting is no longer accepted and there are many cases, where due to submission of reports in improper form (reports were planned for submission in paper form, but were not accepted and an applicant did not have enough time to obtain keys and login / password), owners of leasing licenses had to pay quite significant fines.

Our lawyers can help with obtaining keys / access to the reporting system, as well as deal with basic reporting.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Is an inclusion in the register of legal entities that are entitled to provide leasing services enough to engage in such activities?

No, it is not enough. In the past, before the current license conditions were accepted, the provision of financial leasing services based on a registration certificate (inclusion in the register) was possible. Today, an inclusion in the register is only one of the stages of obtaining a finance license.
