We help manage everyday risks you take as part of doing business
—risks that can threaten the viability of your business.
Part of the leasing process includes setting a residual value on equipment. When there is a difference between agreed-upon value and actual value, it can adversely impact your business. For small-, mid- and large-ticket leases and portfolios, ERVI is an ideal method for managing asset value risk as well as achieving favorable accounting compliance methods for your company.
If your customer does not have enough insurance to cover the equipment investment or has no insurance, you could be at risk. The damaged party in an accident involving your leased equipmpent may file a lawsuit to hold you responsible. Even in a situation where you clearly have no liability, you have to defend yourself, and legal costs can mount quickly. Deficiency or lack of coverage can leave you at risk.
When leases are purchased, an exposure is created when the book value of the purchased lease is greater than loss value stipulated in the lease agreement and the amount of casualty insurance provided by the lessee. SLV Gap helps you manage exposure when you experience this type of shortfall. SLV Gap applies to a total property loss after the lessee’s casualty insurance policy pays the stipulated loss value.
