Reply to "Xerox explores sale of leasing finance unit: sources"

Oce did that 10 years ago and went bust. They didn't realise how much they relied on the monthly rental income and how inflexible third party leasing companies are when you want to upgrade mid term.

The financing arm is usually the most profitable side of the business.  High interest rate to customers, low rates for them and if the customer goes bust you generally get you equipment back and at the end of the contract you get your gear back.
