Maxime De Clerck already had extensive experience in the world of real estate financing and taxation, training as a lawyer and banker at ING, when 3 years ago he had the idea to give every SME the opportunity to buy real estate through leasing. Lloyd Lippens joined him a little later to help build the story of the company that grew out of that idea: Lease Estate.

Lease Estate came to March to discuss the strategy to follow to best reach the target group for Lease Estate. Philippe Meire van March started thinking with Maxime, after which the March and Lease Estate team was able to develop concrete proposals that bring added value to interested companies and owners.

After all, the March team sees major advantages in the solution that Lease Estate offers. Thanks to real estate leasing, real estate can be used flexibly. Just like a rental contract, the agreement is transferred quickly and at no extra cost. On the other hand, the formula also offers security and efficiency. After all, Lease Estate finances the property up to 97.5%, but the lessee is partly the owner from the start. With each payment, the lessee's percentage of ownership increases.

An example of a concrete collaboration is SME units. Through March, Lease Estate can propose its flexible solution to a number of companies at SME parks across Flanders. In Heist-op-den-Berg, LT Interieur has acquired an SME unit at the Bergebeek business park, developed by project developer Jeni Real Estate, via Lease Estate's lease formula. A win-win for everyone who combines security and flexibility.

Through Lease Estate's solutions, March can offer properties throughout Flanders under an interesting lease formula. The March Companions can always include this when developing solutions for seeking companies and owners of corporate real estate. In this way, the March team is not limited to merely presenting properties for sale or rent, but the March Companions think about the best solution for supply and demand.
