1.
Liquidity Risk: For lessees, entering into long-term leases can tie up capital and
reduce liquidity. It may restrict their ability to invest in other opportunities or
respond to unforeseen financial challenges.
2. Operational Risk: Lessees may face operational risks associated with the leased
asset. This includes risks such as equipment breakdown, technological failures, or
disruptions in the supply chain related to the asset.
To mitigate these risks, both lessors and lessees should conduct thorough due diligence,
carefully review lease agreements, assess the financial health and creditworthiness of the
counterparty, and monitor market conditions. It is also advisable to seek professional
advice from accountants, lawyers, and industry experts to understand and mitigate
specific risks associated with leasing activities
